Summary
Description Yucatan chix crater.jpg |
English:
This shaded relief image of Mexico's
Yucatán Peninsula
shows a subtle, but unmistakable, indication of the
Chicxulub impact crater
. Most scientists now agree that this impact was the cause of the
Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction
, the event 65 million years ago that marked the sudden extinction of the dinosaurs as well as the majority of life then on Earth.
