The achievement that Alvarez accomplished with his son, Walter Alvarez, was the development of a theory on the extinction of dinosaurs. They proposed that a massive asteroid impact was responsible for the mass extinction event that occurred around 66 million years ago, which led to the demise of the dinosaurs. This idea was supported by the discovery of a layer of iridium-rich clay in the geological record, which is indicative of an asteroid impact.
