Dinosaurs
Did you know that the meteorite believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs crashed, 65 million years ago, in what is currently the village of Chicxulub on the coast of the Yucatan peninsula ?. The impact formed a crater of 180 kilometers in diameter that is currently buried at 600 meters deep. It was discovered in 1981 when Pemex workers were drilling for oil fields, detecting a sharp change in density at that depth.
