Summary
DescriptionYucatan 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." |
