Chicxulub Crater

Chicxulub Crater


Chicxulub Puerto, Mexico (MX)
Site of the huge impact that is widely believed to have triggered the mass extinction which ended the age of the dinosaurs. Most of the crater has been covered by sediments, but a section of the southern rim is just visible - see Wikipedia link for more information.
