Scientific paper

One of the difficulties of using elemental tracers such as iridium for estimating the total flux of extraterrestrial particles is the uncertainty of the terrestrial iridium contribution. The authors have used 187Os/186Os ratios and osmium concentrations in deep-sea and continental deposits to obtain both a measure of the total extraterrestrial particle flux to the Earth and an upper limit on the fraction of the extraterrestrial osmium carrier that is dissolved in the oceans.
