An animation showing the Chicxulub impact and subsequent crater formation
The implicated in causing the extinction of the dinosaurs, but some critics do not agree that the impact was the sole reason for their extinction. A 2021 study stated that the impactor likely originated in the outer main part of the asteroid belt. (Full article...)
- Most recent similar article(s): Caroline Island is a geography article that will run Sept. 2
- Main editors: David Fuchs was the FAC nominator, Mikenorton and Hemiauchenia received a FASA for the FAR save.
- Promoted: Dec. 4, 2007, FAR as "Kept" July 30, 2022.
- Reasons for nomination: Level 5 vital article, Latin America is generally underrepresented at TFA. This article cross-sections a lot of topics like Astronomy, Geography, and Paleontology. This would be a TFA rerun, last run was 2008. I chose a different image from its original run because I think it would be cool to have a gif as the TFA image. The blurb is reused from 2012, but with some cuts as it was too long.
