Material from Chicxulub meteorite impact crater

Chicxulub impact material. Core sample of material taken from the Chicxulub meteorite impact crater. This impact occurred about 65 million years ago & may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Dark areas are a mixture of drilling mud and loose material from the site. Light areas are fragments of rock, largely anhydrites and evaporites, which were struck by the meteorite. The metal cube with the sample is about 1 centimere square. The 200- kilometre wide Chicxulub crater is found in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. Material ejected from it covered a much wider area, forming a layer between older Cretaceous (K) and younger Tertiary (T) rocks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a core sample of material taken from the infamous Chicxulub meteorite impact crater. This colossal impact, estimated to have occurred around 65 million years ago, is believed to be responsible for the cataclysmic extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. The dark areas in this image represent a mixture of drilling mud and loose debris collected from the site, while the lighter regions consist of fragments of rock primarily composed of anhydrites and evaporites that were directly struck by the meteorite. The small metal cube holding this precious sample measures just about 1 centimeter square, emphasizing the immense scale of destruction caused by this cosmic collision. Located in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, the Chicxulub crater spans an astonishing 200 kilometers wide. However, its impact was far-reaching; ejected material covered a significantly larger area, forming a distinct layer between older Cretaceous rocks and younger Tertiary rocks. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into Earth's ancient history but also serves as a reminder of our planet's vulnerability to celestial events. It stands as tangible evidence connecting us with one of nature's most significant turning points—the K-T boundary—where life on Earth underwent dramatic changes due to this catastrophic event. Science Photo Library brings forth yet another awe-inspiring visual representation that sparks curiosity and deepens our understanding of our planet's geological past.
