The Zhamanshin crater “shows evidence that the impactor may have had a carbonaceous chondritc composition, providing support to our model.” https://t.co/hQd9Zknb3Y
“The Zhamanshin crater (is) the largest confirmed impact crater on Earth formed in the last ~ Myr (an order of magnitude smaller in radius than Chicxulub).” https://t.co/hQd9Zknb3Y
Other candidates. “Our hypothesis predicts that other Chicxulub-size craters on Earth are more likely to correspond to an impactor with a carbonaceous chondritc composition than expected from the carbonaceous chondritc composition fraction of MBAs.” https:
Lad candidate. “Strong evidence suggests that the Chicxulub impact led to the K/T mass extinction event, which was the largest in the past ~250 Myr and brought about the demise of the dinosaurs.” https://t.co/hQd9ZkELVw
New theory. “It predicts a larger proportion of impactors with carbonaceous chondritic compositions than would be expected from meteorite falls of main-belt asteroids.” https://t.co/hQd9Zknb3Y
“Our hypothesis explains the composition of the largest confirmed impact crater in Earth’s history as well as the largest one within the last million years.” https://t.co/hQd9Zknb3Y
“This new rate would be consistent with the age of the Chicxulub impact crater, thereby providing a satisfactory explanation for the origin of the impactor.” https://t.co/hQd9Zknb3Y
“This population could increase the impact rate of long-period comets capable of producing Chicxulub impact events by an order of magnitude.” https://t.co/hQd9Zknb3Y
“Here, we show that a fraction of long-period comets are tidally disrupted after passing close to the Sun, each producing a collection of smaller fragments that cross the orbit of Earth.” https://t.co/hQd9Zknb3Y
An important paper by astrophyscists Amir Siraj, and the famous Professor Abraham Loeb, of the Department of Astronomy, Harvard University, suggests that the breakup of a long-period comet was at the origin of the dinosaur extinction. https://t.co/hQd9Zkn
In general, it is accepted that a giant meteor(s) was the cause of the dinosaur extinction, and there is some debate about which meteor it may have been, although there are only 2-3 candidates. https://t.co/hQd9Zknb3Y
