Analyses of 87Sr/86Sr in foraminifera and sedimentological observations suggest that the Chicxulub impact was not the trigger for slumps or a hiatus within the Maastrichtian section recovered at Ocean Drilling Program Sites 1049, 1050, and 1052 (subtropical western North Atlantic). The slumps and hi...
