What provides evidence of meteorite impact?
A giant hole in the ground. ________________________ That's one good clue, like Arizona's Meteor Crater. But there are others. At the boundary layer in the Earth between the Cretaceous layer of the dinosaurs and the Tertiary layer that followed, there is a sprinkling of iridium dust. Iridium is rare on Earth, but frequently found in meteorites, suggesting that a meteorite impact may be the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs.

What era had a layer of iridium deposited all over Earth?
The layer of iridium deposited all over Earth is known as the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, which marks the end of the Cretaceous period and the beginning of the Paleogene period. This layer is believed to have been deposited around 66 million years ago when a massive asteroid impact caused widespread extinctions, including the dinosaurs.

What is precambrian layer?
The Precambrian layer is the oldest and deepest geological layer on Earth, dating back to about 4.6 billion years ago. It encompasses all geological time before the Paleozoic Era and is characterized by the absence of complex life forms. The Precambrian layer includes the formation of the Earth, the origin of life, and the development of simple single-celled organisms.
