This is the feature that is now buried under sediments in the Gulf of Mexico, close to the port of Chicxulub. The impact description - scientists call it the dynamic collapse model of crater ...

Boulder, CO, USA: When the Chicxulub asteroid slammed into Earth about 66 million years ago, it obliterated 80 percent of Earth's species, blasted out a crater 200 kilometers across, and signaled an ...

The asteroid left a crater over 150 kilometres wide, centred just off the coast of the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. It was named after Chicxulub Pueblo, a small town close to this point.

Though an interesting read, and a compelling case, it lacked a little something; an impact crater. It would take another 10 years before samples from the Chicxulub crater were studied by Penfield.

An curved arrow pointing right. For the first time in history, a team of international scientists are drilling into the center of the underwater crater created by the asteroid that wiped out the ...

Impact breccia: The rock recovered from the Chicxulub Crater tells a story Scientists have a recording of the worst day on Earth; certainly the worst day in the last 66 million years. It takes the ...

But it turns out, Chicxulub may not have acted alone. The Nadir Crater Buried beneath the Atlantic Ocean, deep off the coast ...

Now scientists have found extraordinary evidence which documents the colossal asteroid impact event. It was widely accepted that the Chicxulub meteorite impact was a major cause, as is evidenced by a ...

The Princeton model shows (at left) that the structure of the Earth's surface at the time of the meteorite impact that caused the Chicxulub crater in Mexico would have placed the Deccan Traps in ...

The rock carved out a 15-mile-wide crater into what is now central Ukraine. Scientists once thought both Boltysh and Chicxulub contributed to the mass extinction that doomed the dinosaurs.

A giant crater smoldered on what would become known as the Yucatán Peninsula. Whether or not the asteroid or comet that carved the Chicxulub crater caused the extinction of more than half the ...
