An Extraterrestrial Impact at the Permian-Triassic Boundary?

The helium we obtained from Bed 25 samples is reasonable for a 250-million-year-old volcanic ash bed. Large inter-aliquot variability in 4 He content and the survival of most 4 He through HF demineralization suggest that accessory zircons, known to exist in Bed 25 (), control the distribution of this isotope.The 3 He concentration and 3 …Web

Absence of extraterrestrial 3He in Permian–Triassic

Step-heat experiments indicate rapid diffusion of extraterrestrial helium from sediments heated to temperatures above ∼ 70 °C. Given the likelihood of burial and associated heating in Permian–Triassic age rocks, the initially unexpected absence of IDP-hosted 3 He likely indicates thermally induced diffusive loss.Web

Extraterrestrial 3He in Paleocene sediments from Shatsky Rise

Sediments contain interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) carrying extraterrestrial noble gases, such as 3 He, which have previously been used to estimate the IDP accretion flux over time and the duration of past environmental events. However, due to its high diffusivity, He can be lost by diffusion either due to frictional heating during …Web

Solar-type helium (He) and neon (Ne) in the Earth's mantle were suggested to be the result of solar-wind loaded extraterrestrial dust that accumulated in deep-sea sediments and was subducted into the Earth's mantle.
