Chicxulub crater, Mexico and the Cretaceous - Tertiary boundary Chicxulub is a peak-ring crater with a poorly known topographic ring occurring at 40 to 45 km radius from the crater's center. The crater was named Chicxulub because its center lies near the coastal town of Puerto Chicxulub (Image courtesy Geological Survey of Canada). At this locality the ejecta layer from the Chicxulub crater is ~2 cm thick and at some places preserves the shapes of the individual tektites that compose the layer. wwwdsa.uqac.ca /~mhiggins/MIAC/chicxulub.htm

Chicxulub Crater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chicxulub Crater is an ancient impact crater buried underneath the Yucatan peninsula, with its center located approximately underneath the town of Chicxulub, Yucatán, He matched up the two maps and found that the two arcs joined up in a neat circle, 180 kilometers (112 miles) wide, with its center at the village of Puerto Chicxulub. sinkholes centered on Puerto Chicxulub that matched the ring Penfield had found in his data. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Chicxulub_Crater

Chicxulub review from Tooth and Claw One example is Chicxulub, a rock several miles across that hit the Yucatán Peninsula some sixty-five million years ago, turning day to night and extinguishing most known species on the planet. "Chicxulub" compares the potential loss of a couple's beloved teenage daughter to the ever-present possibility that a big rock will strike the Earth's atmosphere, with catastrophic results. It's the end of the world as we know it, and nurses are still cold martinets who personify the mindless brutality of the universe. www.nursingadvocacy.org /media/books/short/chicxulub.html   (1130 words)

37. Chicxulub, Yucatan, Mexico This image shows the variations in the magnitude of the gravity field at sea level in the vicinity of the buried Chicxulub impact basin in the northwestern corner of the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. The Chicxulub structure is not exposed on the surface; thus, only geophysical images give evidence of its presence and extent. The Chicxulub basin is expressed as a broad, nearly circular region in which gravity values are 20–30 mGal lower than regional values. www.lpi.usra.edu /publications/slidesets/craters/slide_37.html   (312 words)

Chicxulub crater, Mexico and the Cretaceous - Tertiary boundary The Chicxulub crater lies buried, straddling the northwest coastline of the Yucatán peninsula. Chicxulub is a peak-ring crater with a poorly known topographic ring occurring at 40 to 45 km radius from the crater's center. The edges of the crater correspond to a notch in the coastline in the east, and to a sharp bend southwards in the west. miac.uqac.ca /MIAC/chicxulub.htm   (1701 words)

Athena Review 2,1: Chicxulub crater in Yucatán Geologists and archaeologists searching in 1987 for limestone sinkholes (cenotes) used as water sources at ancient Mayan sites in northern Yucatán discovered the perimeter of the 200 km-wide Chicxulub impact crater that, some 65 million years ago, may have played a major role in the extinction of the dinosaurs. Besides the value of the Chicxulub impact to explain catastrophic events causing the end of the dinosaur era on earth, of equal importance is comparative data useful for planetary geology. This crater, variously estimated at 180-300 km in diameter, is one of the largest impact structures known on Earth, or other planets in the solar system such as Venus, where many craters have been studied. www.athenapub.com /crater1.htm   (1191 words)

Yucatán - Chicxulub Pueblo Declarada la independencia de Yucatán y su posterior anexión al resto de la República Mexicana (1821), el pueblo de Chicxulub queda comprendido en el partido de la costa cuya cabecera era Izamal. Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, el pueblo de Chicxulub pasó a la juridiscción del partido de Tixkokob, hasta el año de 1918 en que se erige como cabecera del municipio del mismo nombre. Queda comprendido entre los paralelos 21º 08’ y 21º 13’ de latitud norte y 89º 30’ y 89º 35’, longitud oeste; posee una altura promedio de 2 metros sobre el nivel del mar.

website of Frank Schönian, it really 'rocks' On this first image you can see me at "GROUND ZERO", the center of the crater (which itself is buried in the subsurface), at the small village of Chicxulub Puerto, at the coast of the Mexican state of Yucatán. Currently I am doing research on the ejecta blanket (the "explosion rocks") of the Chicxulub impact crater on the Southern Yucatán Peninsula.

Untitled Document Using sophisticated imaging technology, NASA and the U.S. National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) have produced the first topographic indication of Chicxulub, the impact crater on Mexico's Yucat‡n Peninsula. The Chicxulub data show a subtle, yet unmistakable, topographic indication of the impact crater's outer boundary: a semicircular trough 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 meters) deep and 3 miles (5 kilometers) wide. Scientists believe the impact, centered off Yucat‡n's coast in the Caribbean, disturbed the subsurface rocks, making them unstable. www.sas.org /E-Bulletin/2003-03-14/features2/body.html   (501 words)

Dinosaur Extinction - Enchanted Learning Software A 120-mile-wide (180 km), 1-mile-deep (1600 m) impact crater, Chicxulub, is found at the tip of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the Gulf of Mexico.

Second International Conference on Saltwater Intrusion and Coastal Aquifers Held on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula During the SWICA 2 inauguration ceremony, the famous Yucatecan scientist Antonio Camargo Zanoguera was formally recognized by the Mexican National Academy of Sciences and by other distinguished representatives from Yucatán for his discovery of the Chicxulub impact crater. Chicxulub is a site in northern Yucatán where a giant asteroid or comet struck the Earth approximately 65 million years ago and possibly caused the mass extinctions of the dinosaurs and more than 70 percent of all life on Earth. The origin of the cenote ring remains uncertain, although the link to the underlying buried crater seems clear. soundwaves.usgs.gov /2003/05/meetings.html   (501 words)
