Linked from

The 26 pages that link to Chicxulub crater, each with the reason it gives.

• Radiometric datingRelated: Dating impact-related rocks links the crater’s formation to the K–Pg mass extinction.

• MesozoicRelated: Its impact is strongly linked to the extinction that ended the era.

• Late CretaceousRelated: Its formation is linked to the extinction that closed the Late Cretaceous.

• DinosaurRelated: Its impact is strongly linked to the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs.

• Impact winterRelated: Its rocks preserve evidence of the collision associated with a global climate shock.

• Gulf of MexicoRelated: The impact occurred at the gulf’s edge and is linked to the end-Cretaceous mass extinction.

• Iridium anomalyRelated: The crater independently links the boundary anomaly to a large impact.

• Walter AlvarezRelated: Its discovery identified the likely impact site predicted by the hypothesis.

• IridiumRelated: The crater provides a physical source for the impact event linked to iridium-rich K–Pg sediments.

• CenoteRelated: Its buried ring structure corresponds to a striking arc of cenotes.

• Luis Walter AlvarezRelated: Its discovery supplied the impact site that the Alvarez hypothesis initially lacked.

• Meteor CraterRelated: Its far larger scale contrasts with Meteor Crater's relatively recent, smaller impact.

• Popigai impact structureRelated: Chicxulub provides a contrast in age, preservation, and evidence for global biological consequences.
