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.

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 ...

For decades, the disappearance of dinosaurs has been tied to the Chicxulub asteroid, whose crater lies partly beneath ...

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 ...

Around 66 million years ago, the dinosaurs were killed by an enormous asteroid that hit what is today Chicxulub, Mexico. But a second asteroid struck during that same era at the Nadir crater off ...

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