Chicxulub Scientific Drilling Project: Sulfur Isotopic Systematics of the Chicxulub Sequence and Time-Equivalent Paleosols

0207836普拉特国际大陆科学钻探计划（ICDP）正在资助在墨西哥尤卡坦半岛的希克苏鲁布撞击坑钻探一个2公里的洞。 NSF正在资助美国调查人员分析来自希克苏鲁布科学钻探项目（CSDP）的岩心样本。 希克苏鲁布陨石坑是世界上最大的撞击坑之一，与6500万年前白垩纪-第三纪边界的大规模扩张事件有关。 作为CSDP科学小组的一部分，主要研究人员将研究希克苏鲁布撞击地点的硫（S）同位素系统学。 他们将调查钻探现场目标岩石和火流星之间的混合情况。 这将是对希克苏鲁布岩芯样品完整表征的重要贡献。 ***

0207836PrattThe International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) is funding the drilling of a 2km hole in the Chicxulub impact crater on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. NSF is funding US investigators to analyze core samples from the Chicxulub Scientific Drilling Project (CSDP). The Chicxulub crater is one of the world's largest impact craters and has been linked to the mass extnction event at the Cretaceous - Tertiary boundary ~65 million years ago. As part of the CSDP Science Team, the Principal Investigators will look at the Sulfur (S) isotopic systematics of the Chicxulub impact site. They will investigate the mixing between target rocks and the bolide at the drill site. This will be an important contribution to the complete characterization of the Chicxulub drill core samples. ***
