Researchers measured the temperature of the Chicxulub crater 66 million years ago, unlocking mysteries of the dinosaur-dooming mass extinction event.

The asteroid left quite a mark. Today this impact zone is called the Chicxulub Crater, and is largely buried beneath the Yucatan Peninsula.

Researchers think new evidence found in the Chicxulub Crater finally closes the case of what happened to the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

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.

The Chicxulub impactor is widely thought to have changed all that, leading to the dinosaur’s eventual extinction (and the evolution of surviving dinosaurs into today’s birds).
