Iridium is rare in the earth's crust but ample in meteorites, the Alvarez group took the presence of the element at the k-T boundary as evidence that the impact of a huge meteorite led to the death of the dinosaurs.

A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from an object, inclusive of a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in the outer area and survives its passage through the atmosphere to attain the surface of a planet or moon.

A meteorite is any fairly small natural object from interplanetary space—i.e., a meteoroid—that survives its passage through Earth's environment and lands on the surface. In current usage, the time period is broadly applied to comparable objects that land on the surface of different comparatively large bodies.

The German economy started to clasp under the heaviness of these outside and inward pressing factors. As the principal reimbursements were made to the Allies in the mid 1920s, the estimation of the German imprint sank radically, and a time of excessive inflation started. In mid 1922, 160 German imprints was identical to one US dollar. By November of 1923, the money would devalue to 4,200,000,000,000 imprints to one US dollar.
