Dinokiller-Einschlag: Krater als Oase? Wieso sich das Leben am Einschlagsort so schnell erholte. #Chicxulub #Dinokiller #Einschlagskrater #Kreidezeit #Massenaussterben

The discovery of #Chicxulub, which supports the dino-killing asteroid theory is a fun read. A non-academic and a journalist announced a result, but all the leading academics were not paying attention. Eventually their validation was accepted but took a decade to be heard.

> Penfield also recalled that part of the motivation for the name was "to give the academics and NASA naysayers a challenging time pronouncing it" after years of dismissing its existence.[

Why did the dinosaurs extinct, but birds and mammals survived? 🤔🦖 Hans Sues explains. This video explains the leading theory: the Chicxulub asteroid impact!

It is an ill-asteroid that blows nobody any good.

The researchers found that the ancestors of the modern ant-grown #fungi began evolving 66 million years ago — the same time that a massive #asteroid collided with what’s now the #YucatánPeninsula in #Chicxulub, #Mexico.

The cloud of dust from the impact blotted out the #sunlight, causing a dramatic die-off of #plants and #animals, including the #dinosaurs (except for #birds).

When a massive asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, #ants began farming fungi

Je veux juste signaler que si on cherche #Chicxulub sur #google on a droit a un #easteregg un peu pourrave...

Pour finir, j'ai toujours voulu placer l'affirmation suivante : #poposaure est sans doute le nom le plus ridicule pour un #dinosaure ! Voilà, j'avais vraiment envie de le dire !

#Asteroid wiped out #dinosaurs, not a #comet
Analysis of #ruthenium #isotopes showed impactor was a carbonaceous-type asteroid.
Scientists identified likely impact site: large crater in #Chicxulub, #Mexico, first discovered by geophysicists in 1970s. The impactor that created it was sufficiently large (11-8km, or 7-50mi) to melt, shock, and eject granite from deep inside the Earth, probably causing a megatsunami and ejecting vaporized rock and sulfates into the atmosphere

Here's a really in-depth telling of the story of the conflict over priority for the discovery of the season of the Chicxulub impact:

🪨 An asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, not a comet, new study finds | @ArsTechnica

「 Now an international team of scientists have reaffirmed the original hypothesis, according to a new paper published in the journal Science. They analyzed ruthenium isotopes from the Chicxulub impact crater and concluded the impact was due to a carbonaceous-type asteroid, likely hailing from beyond Jupiter 」

Dinosaur-killing Asteroid likely came from deep Space beyond Jupiter. 🦖🦕☄️

A international team of scientists have analyzed ruthenium isotopes from the Chicxulub impact crater and concluded the impact was due to a carbonaceous-type asteroid, likely hailing from beyond Jupiter.

The asteroid likely responsible for wiping out roughly 75-percent of all Earth’s species, including non-avian dinosaurs, wasn’t just one of the planet’s rare mass extinction events (the culprit space rock was a cosmic rarity in itself). In a study published August 15 in the journal American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), an international research team reveals the famous Chicxulub impactor that separated the Cretaceous and Paleogene eras (also known as the K-Pg boundary) was an incredibly uncommon carbonaceous asteroid originating from beyond Jupiter’s orbit.[ImageSource: Philippe Claeys]

Chicxulub-asteroïde kwam van voorbij Jupiter

De zogenaamde Chicxulub-inslag was een koolstofachtige asteroïde die voorbij de baan van Jupiter is ontstaan. Dit schrijft nieuw onderzoek dat afgelopen week in Sciece werd gepubliceerd.
