     No fossils have been found with the Ir. You
 must remember that the K-T impact literally set the entire surface of
 the Earth on fire, and hence the 
 corpses of the dead dinosaurs on the other side of the Earth were
 burned before they could fossilize.  The hemisphere where the K-T
 impact occured was covered
 over a good part by clouds of red and white hot molten
 rock and the dinosaurs there were most likely immolated.  The K-T
 Impact was followed by years of 
 acid, so corpses in the oceans were most likely 
 dissolved before they could fossilize.
    In other words, most likely there was nothing
 left to fossilize.

Wow,  talk about being rubbed out,  not even a grease stain.
