A study reveals the chemical makeup of the Chicxulub asteroid that collided with Earth and resulted in the extinction of nearly all dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

Scientists have uncovered the "genetic fingerprint" of the dinosaur-killing Chicxulub impactor, potentially revealing the fateful rock's origins in the outer reaches of our solar system.

The study confirmed previous findings that identified the asteroid as a carbonaceous-type, or C-type, asteroid, but refuted a 2021 hypothesis that the dinosaur killer was likely a comet.

A study reveals the chemical makeup of the Chicxulub asteroid that collided with Earth and resulted in the extinction of nearly all dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

For instance, while the new study rules out that the dinosaur-killing space rock was a comet, which a 2021 study had suggested, scientists don't yet have pristine data on the diversity and ...
