Although there is circumstantial evidence supporting this picture (e.g., the maximum in noctilucent clouds when the earth passes through the invariable plane, and the low present iridium levels), the weakest part of the proposed mechanism is the absence of a clearly identifiable band of meteoroids or dust responsible for it.

  Invariable plane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The invariable plane of the solar system is the plane passing through its barycenter (center of mass) which is perpendicular to its angular momentum vector, about 98% of which is contributed by the orbital angular momenta of the four jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).
The invariable plane is within 0.5° of the orbital plane of Jupiter, and may be regarded as the weighted average of all planetary orbital planes.
All planetary orbital planes wobble around the invariable plane, meaning that they rotate around its axis while their inclinations to it vary, both of which are caused by the gravitational influence of the other planets.

Schiaparelli also announced that the axis of rotation of the planet is nearly perpendicular to the plane of its orbit.
The rotation being uniform, while the orbital motion, owing to the great eccentricity of the orbit, is affected by a very large inequality, it would follow that there is a libration in longitude of nearly 24 on each side of the mean position.

The Solar System possesses two fixed planes: that of the Solar Equator; and the Invariable plane -- a central plane of the Solar System discovered by Laplace, which, passing through its center of gravity at a mean inclination of about 1°35' to the Ecliptic, is independent of the mutual perturbations of the planets.
However, the values of these inclinations and the longitudes of the planetary Nodes along this plane are all variable due to motions of the orbits themselves with respect to the other great reference plane of the Solar System: the Invariable Plane -- so-called because its position remains unaltered by any forces within the system.
Finally they showed that the orbit planes precess backward along the invariable plane, while most of the major axes revolve forward-spending briefer periods in actual retrograde motion.
