AbstractThe classical Gubbio (Italy) Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary section has been resampled for both magnetostratigraphy and iridium. Paleomagnetic samples were taken over 7 m in the Maastrichtian and 6 m in the Paleocene. Previous results obtained a decade ago are confirmed. The reversal sequence is well defined and the individual reversals are somewhat more precisely located. A noticeable difference is the location of the position of the 29N/29R limit which may be lowered by 20-30 cm in the stratigraphic column. This would imply that the KTB occurs near the middle of chron 29R. Iridium measurements were made on samples from both shales and surrounding limestone beds from 2 m below to 3 m above the boundary: these measurements indicate that Ir is associated with clay minerals. Concentrations in the two types of samples are indeed compatible when reduced to a carbonate-free basis. Iridium concentrations stand above background over almost 3 m of section, corresponding to half a million years based on magnetostratigraphy. This is likely to indicate a protracted duration of the (external or internal) source of iridium, on top of which the main (short-lived) KTB anomaly proper stands. © 1990.
