Formed in the aftermath of a colossal asteroid impact near modern-day Mexico, this thin sedimentary band is found across the globe, marking the boundary between the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"900\" data-start=\"659\"\u003eRich in iridium — an element rare on Earth but common in asteroids — this clay is geological proof of the cataclysm that reshaped life on our planet. Over 75% of Earth’s species vanished, paving the way for mammals, and eventually humans, to rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1174\" data-start=\"902\"\u003eNow, you can own a genuine sample of this boundary layer, a physical fragment of deep time. Whether you're a fossil enthusiast, a collector of cosmic history, or a lover of natural wonder, this artifact offers a rare and humbling connection to Earth's most pivotal moment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1174\" data-start=\"902\"\u003eOur samples of this 66 million year old clay come from one of the best-preserved K–Pg transitions found in Bidart, France.
