Extinction asteroid's impact on Earth laid bare as new map outlines 'mega ripples' on seafloor
Scientists have created a new 3D map of "mega ripples" on the seafloor caused by the Chicxulub asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. The study, published in the journal Marine Geology, reveals the forces generated by the space rock that triggered a global tsunami 66 million years ago.
Map of ‘mega ripples’ created by dinosaur-killing asteroid uncovers secrets of ancient world
New details about the impact of the Chicxulub asteroid - the one which wiped out the dinosaurs - have been revealed after researchers created a new map of "mega ripples" on the seafloor. Around 66 million years ago (during the Cretaceous era),
Asteroid That Killed The Dinosaurs Left "Megaripple" Structure Underneath Louisiana
In 2021, a team led by Dr Gary Kinsland of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette found evidence that the impact and resulting tsunami left "megaripples" of sediment 16 meters (53 feet) high and 600 meters (1,969 feet) apart. These megaripples were deposits of sediment distributed in what was then the ocean floor, but now forms part of Louisiana.
