The Chicxulub crater, a vast scar hidden beneath the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, is the testimony of a catastrophic event that altered the course of life on Earth. Approximately 112 miles in diameter, this crater was formed 66 million years ago, the result of the impact of a huge asteroid or comet. This cosmic event is directly linked to the mass extinction that decimated the dinosaurs and most terrestrial species. | Unsolved Mysteries & Paranormal Activities
