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.
