Abstract

The Chicxulub crater is the only well-preserved peak-ring crater on Earth and linked, famously, to the K-T or K-Pg mass extinction event. For the first time, geologists have drilled into the peak ring of that crater in the International Ocean Discovery Program and International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (IODP-ICDP) Expedition 364. The Chicxulub impact event, the environmental calamity it produced, and the paleobiological consequences are among the most captivating topics being discussed in the geologic community. Here we focus attention on the geological processes that shaped the ~200-km-wide impact crater responsible for that discussion and the expedition’s first year results.
希克苏鲁伯和通过科学钻探探索大型峰环撞击坑
希克苏鲁伯陨石坑是地球上唯一保存完好的峰环陨石坑,众所周知,它与K-T或K-Pg大灭绝事件有关。地质学家第一次在国际海洋发现计划和国际大陆科学钻探计划(IODP-ICDP)第364次探险中钻进了火山口的峰环。希克苏鲁伯撞击事件、它所造成的环境灾难以及古生物学后果是地质学界正在讨论的最引人入胜的话题之一。在这里,我们把注意力集中在形成约200公里宽的陨石坑的地质过程上,这个陨石坑负责那次讨论和探险队第一年的结果。
