The extinction of the dinosaurs and around three-quarters of all living species was almost
certainly caused by a large asteroid impact 66 million years ago. Seismic data acquired …

The environmental severity of large impacts on Earth is influenced by their impact trajectory.
Impact direction and angle to the target plane affect the volume and depth of origin of …

The discovery of the giant Chicxulub impact crater, buried off the coast of Mexico, unveiled
the solution to one of Earth's greatest mysteries--what killed the dinosaurs. Scientists …

Impact craters are observed on the surfaces of all rocky planets and satellites in our Solar
System; some impacts on Earth, such as the Cretaceous/Tertiary one that formed the …

Abstract The Chicxulub impact in Mexico has been linked to the mass extinction of species
at the end of the Cretaceous period. From seismic data collected across the offshore portion …

Aside from its significance in establishing the impact-mass extinction paradigm, the
Chicxulub crater will probably come to exemplify the structure of large complex craters …

The mass extinction at the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary,∼ 66 Ma, is thought to be
caused by the impact of an asteroid at Chicxulub, present-day Mexico. Although the precise …

The Chicxulub impact crater in Mexico is the site of the impact purported to have caused
mass extinctions at the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) boundary. 2-D hydrocode modeling of the …

The Chicxulub impact is thought to have triggered a global winter at the Cretaceous-
Palaeogene (K-Pg) boundary 66 million years ago. Yet the climatic consequences of the …

The origin of the Chicxulub impactor, which is attributed as the cause of the K/T mass
extinction event, is an unsolved puzzle. The background impact rates of main-belt asteroids …
