Artwork showing Chicxulub impact event
Chicxulub impact. Artwork of the meteorite impact at Chicxulub on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, as seen from 10 kilometres (km) altitude. This impact may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and 70% of all Earths species 65 million years ago. The meteorite was an asteroid or comet core thought to have been 10-20 km across. The impact created a 180-km wide crater and threw trillions of tonnes of dust into the atmosphere. This may have blocked the Suns light and caused global climate changes. The remains of this debris are found worldwide as a layer in rocks known as the K/T boundary
