The discovery of what seems to be a second impact crater on the other side of the Atlantic, of a very similar age, is raising these questions. It's not as big as the one we know at Chicxulub in ...

For decades, the disappearance of dinosaurs has been tied to the Chicxulub asteroid, whose crater lies partly beneath Mexico’x Yucatan Peninsula. But new research has revealed that there were at ...

If the simulations were accurate, the Nadir Crater was the same age as the dinosaur-killing Chicxulub Crater. A map showing the location of Nadir Crater at West Africa's Guinea Plateau.

The asteroid left a crater over 150 kilometres wide, centred just off the coast of the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. It was named after Chicxulub Pueblo, a small town close to this point.

So, while the Chicxulub asteroid was the one that killed the dinosaurs, it seems it may have had a little help from the asteroid that hit the Nadir crater ... The largest meteor impact in ...
