Scientific paper

The Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary has been identified in the Gosau beds (Elendgraben) near Salzburg, Austria. The undisturbed 2-mm thick boundary clay in the palaeomagnetic G(-) zone differs from the surrounding sediments in having significant color, no biogenic calcite, and different contents of rare-earth and siderophile elements, carbon, and magnetic minerals. The clay also contains shocked quartz and plagioclase particles, and indicates a dramatic change in sedimentation caused by a short-lived event.
