Chicxulub Puerto, Mexico, is the centre of the impact crater that scientists believe was made when the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs smashed into the Earth’s surface.

Chicxulub crater 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 ...

A study reveals the chemical makeup of the Chicxulub asteroid that collided with Earth and resulted in the extinction of nearly all dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

Like Chicxulub, these particles are consistent with carbonaceous chondrite asteroids, implying that deep space meteorites originating from far beyond Jupiter likely traveled to Earth as far back ...
