The Chicxulub impact and its environmental consequences
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 …

On impact and volcanism across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
The cause of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction is vigorously debated, owing to the
occurrence of a very large bolide impact and flood basalt volcanism near the boundary …

Asteroid impact, not volcanism, caused the end-Cretaceous dinosaur extinction
AA Chiarenza, A Farnsworth… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
The Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction, 66 Ma, included the demise of non-avian
dinosaurs. Intense debate has focused on the relative roles of Deccan volcanism and the …

Precise radiometric age establishes Yarrabubba, Western Australia, as Earth's oldest recognised meteorite impact structure
The~ 70 km-diameter Yarrabubba impact structure in Western Australia is regarded as
among Earth's oldest, but has hitherto lacked precise age constraints. Here we present U …
