...into a suction tube held in the other. Suddenly, something metallic flashed in the dim light filtering through the water. It was a piece of gold jewelry that had remained hidden from sight for 34 centuries.

Knowing the exact location of each item will enable...

If he finds the mineral clues below the fossil deposits, he says, the impact probably preceded and could have caused the extinction, thus strengthening the Alvarez hypothesis...
