Extended Data Figure 6: Simulation of pre-impact chloride profile.
From: Evidence for high salinity of Early Cretaceous sea water from the Chesapeake Bay crater
Simulated chloride concentrations through the pre-impact coastal plain sediments. The black, red and blue lines indicate chloride concentrations at the end of the Early Cretaceous, at the end of the Cretaceous Period and at the time of the bolide impact, respectively. For additional discussion see Supplementary Information.
