The 66 Myr impact hit at ~27,000 mph; the 12 km asteroid left a 180 km-wide Chicxulub crater, and a sesame-seed-sized fragment was found in a Hawaiian core. Read more: https://getnews.me/where-is-the-dinosaur-killing-asteroid-evidence-and-remnants/ #dinosaurextinction #chicxulub

The K‑Pg impact 66 million years ago left an iridium‑rich clay layer in Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin, marking a shift from chaotic flood‑plain rocks to striped point‑bar deposits.

Apparently, blaming an asteroid for wiping out all the dinosaurs is the flat Earth of extinction theories 😅
Dr. Hans Sues said “not on my watch.”

'Statistically, that shouldn’t have happened': Something very weird occurred in the ocean after the dinosaur-killing asteroid hit #Science #EarthSciences #Paleontology #dinosaurextinction #Astrobiology

The impact that likely wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago wasn't caused by a typical rocky asteroid; evidence suggests the Chicxulub impactor was a carbonaceous chondrite, a type of asteroid rich in carbon and water. #Chicxulub #CarbonaceousChondrite #DinosaurExtinction

New study suggests dinosaurs were thriving until the asteroid impact—decline may be a fossil record illusion. #DinosaurExtinction #FossilRecord #Paleontology

How dinosaur extinction influenced fruit evolution: Dinosaur extinction shaped fruit evolution, influencing diets and ecosystems, including those of human ancestors.

Why did the dinosaurs extinct, but birds and mammals survived? 🤔🦖 Hans Sues explains. This video explains the leading theory: the Chicxulub asteroid impact! #DinosaurExtinction #AsteroidImpact #Chicxulub #Paleontology #Prehistoric #Jurassic #Cretaceous #Evolution #ScienceFacts

The extinction of dinosaurs was not caused by volcanic eruptions : The Chicxulub meteorite impact, rather than volcanic activity, was the principal driver behind the extinction of the dinosaurs.
