"Must have been a lot of rain after that much evaporation." Yes, and the mineral content of the astroid may have been very beneficial to plant growth and animal development.

The problem involves quite a number of factors, not the least of which would be rapid and efficient carbon sequestration. Rain would accelerate the process, but where's the sink? We have found a fine clay lamina in various places globally the defines the K/T, but I do not recall that this was being investigated for carbon.

Must have been a lot of rain after that much evaporation. Think it rained for 40 days and 40 nights in the middle east after that event?
