Smit also examined the layers of green clay mineral.
Smit也檢測了綠色粘土礦物層。
He did his own x-ray diffraction analysis...
他親自做了X射線衍射分析，
and found not Glauconite, but a different mineral called Smectite.
結果并非海綠石，而是另一種叫做蒙脫石的礦物。
Smectite can form quickly. So they made another mistake,
蒙脫石能夠迅速形成。看來他們又犯了一個錯誤，
they misidentified the clay mineral with very severe implications.
他們太過主觀，所以辨認錯了這種粘土礦物。
And as for Gerta Keller's forams, Smit was in no doubt she had made another big mistake.
至于Gerta Keller發現的有孔蟲，Smit全然相信她又犯了另一個大錯誤。
He took photographs through a microscope too
他也用顯微鏡拍下了照片，
he found not a single fossil, just these inorganic crystals.
但他沒有發現一個化石，而只是一些非生物結晶。
On these fuzzy pictures you can easily claim they are forams
在這些模糊的照片上，你很容易把它們當成是有孔蟲，
but I claim it's a fortuitous combination of those crystals in a very fuzzy picture.
但我認為它只不過是這些模糊照片中偶爾出現的結晶群。
If you take sharper pictures like these with a different method, you see they are totally different.
如果你再看一下用其它方法拍攝的清晰照片，你會發現它們完全不一樣。
According to Smit, all the evidence suggested the core had been formed in just a few days by a Tsunami...
根據Smit的觀點，所有證據都說明巖芯只是在短短幾天內因為海嘯而形成，
and that meant Chicxulub must be the killer of the dinosaurs.
這意味著希克蘇魯伯大碰撞就是殺害恐龍的罪魁禍首。
