While everyone else has their post-Goldschmidt jetlags, I'm very happy to announce that our "dinosaur" paper is finally out! At @ipgp.bsky.social we used Ni isotopes to identify the asteroid, that left the Chicxulub crater and caused the extinction. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The origin of Cretaceous-Palaeogene impactor revealed by nickel isotopes

A relatively volatile-poor asteroid from the outer Solar System was responsible for the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs.
