Funny how people here keep referring to iridium when the highest concentrations of iridium should be located within the impact zone of the Chicxulub asteroid. However, iridium concentrations are higher in other parts of the world far away from the Yucatan region. What do all these iridum regions have in common? They are all located in volcanic zones. Volcanoes give off iridium emissions which is why they are finding iridum in volcanic zones. During the Flood there would have been volcanic activity as well and lava would be and is found in the fossil record. What does all this mean? It means the source of the iridium comes from volcanic acticity and not from an asteroid that never impacted in the Yucatan. It never happened. There are countries with much higher concentrations of iridium. But if indeed an asteroid did impact in the Yucatan you would find the highest concentration of iridium there. But its not there. What is there are many volcanoes. There is your answer. Volcanoes.Big wave, but hardly a global flood. The K-T disaster was rather different than a flood. We know that it was worldwide, because there's a layer of iridium dust at a specific time, laid down over the entire Earth. Iridium is a significant component in most asteroids, but not in the Earth's crust. You've been misled about that in some respects, it seems. The Wikipedia article is actually pretty good and up to date, but you probably want to search "Deccan Traps" for some other possible contributing factors.
If you have some background in geology, there are more technical articles out there. Let me know if you'd like to read them.
