Scientific paper

Ir-rich debris associated with the Late Pliocene impact of the Eltanin asteroid has been recovered from 3 new sediment cores from the Bellinghausen Sea that were collected by the F.S. Polarstern in May 1995. The impact is recorded in a layer of debris including disturbed sediment, vesicular impact melt, glassy spherules and unmelted meteoritic clasts. Previous studies sampled poorly preserved cores collected from the same region in 1964. The new cores offer a more complete sampling of the region with the highest concentration of impact material. With the samples contained in these new cores we will be able to describe the fallout of this oceanic impact event near the estimated ground zero with improved resolution.
