How long did it take for life to bounce back after the KPg asteroid impact and mass extinction event 66 million years ago? ☄️ A new #Geology study found that life recovered much faster than we previously thought.

☄️ El impacto de #Chicxulub creó los cenotes de #Yucatán. 🌐 Vínculo entre el cosmos y el inframundo Maya.
Todo sobre este tema con Marlenne Trujillo ⬇️
#Chicxulub The new findings include:
1. the model showing the peak ring’s formation and evolution just seconds after impact
2. how long impact winter lasted
3. essentially the whole reconstruction of the layers of rock
4. how quickly life recovered after this event

Dinosaurian extinction—asteroid impact or volcanic activity? New research in #GSABulletin concludes that volcanism and resulting environmental degradation was the primary cause.

Where Is the Dinosaur‑Killing Asteroid? Evidence and Remnants
The 66 Myr impact hit at ~27,000 mph; the 12 km asteroid left a 180 km-wide Chicxulub crater, and a sesame-seed-sized fragment was found in a Hawaiian core. Read more: getnews.me/where-is-the-dinosaur-ki... #dinosaurextinction #chicxulub

🦕 Did you know that #dinosaurs were ecosystem engineers? When they were wiped out from Earth's surface by the #Chicxulub impact, the river landscapes of North America dramatically changed as well! Happy to see this paper out in which I played a small part, brilliantly led by Luke Weaver @umich.edu 👇

How did #Geologists and #Paleontologists perform tests and realize that what happened at #Chicxulub was 66 mya, not 65?

The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs created a tsunami 100 m (330 ft) in height.

⏰ Instead of the classic “dual-layer” #ejecta model, we found 3 distinct sublayers:
1️⃣ Impact melt #spherules — c. 15 min after #Chicxulub impact
2️⃣ Basement mineral grains — <1 hr after impact
3️⃣ Fine dust rich in Zr (from #Yucatán granites) & Cr, Ni (from the #asteroid) — settled in <20 years.
🔬 We applied micro–X-ray fluorescence (#μXRF) mapping at 25 μm resolution + scanning electron microscopy to a K–Pg boundary slab from Colorado (Raton Basin) 🇺🇸.
☄️This non-destructive workflow reveals #ejecta products layer-by-layer — resolving events from minutes to decades after #Chicxulub.
