Abstract:
Paquay et al. (Reports, 11 April 2008, p. 214) reported that osmium isotope ratios in marine sediments can be used to determine the size of a chondritic impactor. Their assumptions on the fate of an impacting projectile may need to be reassessed, however, because only a small, unpredictable fraction of the impactor ends up dissolved in seawater.
