(We talk about the K-T boundary in the Discovery section at the top of this page.) Further info about where the K-T boundary layer is visible:

In terms of where you can find iridium commercially, the answer is mainly in platinum mines in South Africa or nickel mines in Canada and Russia, where small amounts of iridium are extracted as a byproduct of mining the other metals.
