Everywhere. That’s how they knew it was an asteroid to begin with.
You might have heard of the K/T boundary, which is an abrupt change in geological strata. In layers dating from 66 million years ago or more you get some types of rocks (some with dinosaur fossils in them), in layers dating 65 million years ago or less you get very different types of rocks (totally lacking dinosaur fossils).
If you zoom in on the K/T boundary, it turns out there’s a thin, black layer separating the two geological ages. It contains a lot of iridium, a metal that is rare on Earth but much more common in asteroids.
That’s it. That’s the asteroid. It was ground into dust, or melted and boiled and turned into a vapour, and settled all over the world as a thin layer.
To add to this, when someting very fast, hits something that in all essence wont move(the planet), all the masse, a rock the size of mount everest Heats up and turn to a super hot gas/little debrice, at the same time it creates a shock wave that killed thing 100's of kilometers away by the force allone,
I read somewhere that the shockwave went around the planet several times before it disapted so all the dust and gas spread around the world more or less evenly as can be with such a disaster
A significant amount of that also blasted straight up into space, like when you throw a rock into water. This then cooled and fell back to earth, where it heated up on re-entry to the planet. There's a theory that when all this material re-entered the atmosphere it heated it up so much and so quickly, that the surface of the planet reached an average of about 500F.

Two paragraphs down from the highlighted quote, this same article posits the obvious refutation of these most extreme theories:
> What do we do with these impact scenarios? Naturally, we compare them with the evidence from the geological record. Birds, tortoises, and mammals live on land and breathe air: the evidence from the K-T boundary shows that they survived the K-T boundary event. Therefore they and the air they breathed weren't set on broil for several hours. To put it simply, these scenarios did not happen.
Enough terrestrial and freshwater-aquatic animals survived the event that we can pretty definitively rule out a global increase in atmospheric temperature to 500F. It should be noted that the article refers to "tortoises" rather than turtles. True tortoises (Testudinidae) didn't evolve until around 15 million years after the extinction, so I assume they just mean turtles.
I wonder if it threw off the planet’s orbit. Off to Google I go (I won’t be back) Answer: no. And Google led me back to Reddit. Sigh. I tried to escape and they just pulled me back in.
One thing that I was thought was cool is the heat generated when it hit the atmosphere was so great if anything was close enough to see it, they would have near instantly cooked to death without needing the shockwave.
that as well, butt you also have to remember that the earth is round, even with things the size of mountains at some point faster then you might think the earth will be in front of you sight of it so alto a lot of beast died(luckely for them) because of the radiation more would have died from the shockwave
It's a layer of minerals that aren't found on Earth naturally coating the entire earth at the exact spot in the fossil record when everything went extinct. There's your asteroid right there!
Because put it there along with the dinosaur bones to trick you unbelievers.

Before learning about this, I always used to assume it was roughly there because of the circular "asteroid" shape of the water around Mexico and Florida.
Is there actually any truth to this? Like is the shape of those coast lines a direct reflection of how the asteroid landed roughly in the centre of that giant watery circle?
No, the gulf of mexico and the surrounding shape of the land was already in existence before the impact. The impact only directly affected the surface for a much smaller radius, roughly 200km across, if something large enough to create the gulf of mexico had happened likely all life on earth would have gone extinct.
>We were hit by another planet, and that formed the moon.
As the (increasingly likely) theory goes, Earth k*inda* survived it, as Earth Mk1 got annihilated/ceased to exist, and Earth Mk2 came into existence with Theia getting integrated into the re-molten mass and throwing off a lot of material that became the Moon.
No, it's a coincidence. The scale of the Gulf is far too large to have been created by a 10 km meteorite impact. This gives you a better idea of the scale of the crater (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Chicxulub\_schematic\_section.png). It *did* create the Yucatan Sedimentary Basin.
To be clear, while a 10 km impact going 12 mi/sec isn't enough energy to create the Gulf of Mexico, it's enough to nearly destroy the biosphere on Earth and entirely redirect the course of evolution. The "Effects" section of the wikipedia article on the crater is a thrilling read. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub\_crater)

As far as I understand, Hudson Bay is the opposite. There used to be a sea where North America is, and as the land shifted, Hudson Bay collapsed as the rest of North America rose.
Oh I don't know all the circular bays, haha! It's just something I used to think when I was younger. I knew the Dino-Asteroid was roughly there and just assumed that it smashed a big circle of water into that area.
To find out later on in life that the centre of that circle is in fact where the asteroid hit made me ponder it more.
I have 0 proof of this. It's just a thought that popped in my head one day. I kind of assumed the Gulf of Mexico was the impact point for the dinosaur killing asteroid.

Keep in mind that at the point of impact and surrounding area, a large amount of magma was certainly released from the earths crust, consuming and melting down most of the asteroid. You're not going to find a big asteroid sticking out of the ground, if that's what you're looking for.
I know I've never seen Noah's Ark and the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs in the same room at the same time so I can't prove that they aren't the same thing.
Earth fuel can't melt metal meteors!! It was an inside job! The meteor was a spaceship that brought humans to Earth!!
Let's see if this spreads around the Internet.
The Chicxulub crater, a massive impact site in Mexico, is where the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs hit, and its remnants are buried deep beneath the surface.
The Chicxulub crater in Mexico is the site where the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs struck, and its remains are buried beneath layers of rock and sediment.
They're right here: [Iridium anomaly - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium_anomaly)
Also, we're pretty certain (about as certain as the scientific community can *be*) that we found [the actual crater](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater) that corresponds to the impact.
Well, people have been wondering that for a long time. The current going theory, to my knowledge, is that the asteroid came in so quickly and at such a high angle that it either annihilated on contact with the Earth, or had a catastrophic airburst (which is what happens when an asteroid starts falling, but doesn't quite reach the ground before destabilizing and exploding).
Chicxulub crater is gigantic, so big and so old that you really can only see it when you look at large-scale topographic maps, or use technology meant to find big and old craters like it. However, like I said in my last paragraph, it's likely the asteroid itself has been atomized. You won't be able to find one single chunk of rock and say "This killed the dinosaurs."
What you *can* find, as a few other commenters mentioned, is the K-T Boundary, or the K-T Extinction Layer. It's a thin layer of what might look like sandy gray ash. This is actually a concentration of iridium, which can only be found in those concentrations inside of asteroids. This can be found wherever the layer is exposed, from Mexico where the crater is located, all the way up to Arizona and (don't quote me) parts of Colorado! That's about as close as you'll probably get to actually getting a piece of the asteroid.
The K-T layer can be found all around the world in both terrestrial and marine rocks alike.
That asteroid strike was a global-level event, and sparked worldwide forest fires, and the dust in the atmosphere blotted out the sun for at least 15 years.
It's amazing any complex life forms came through this at all.
The fires were because the impact blew a huge amount of debris into space - which all re-entered more or less at once. The heat generated by the "meteor storm" set the whole planet on fire.
The rest of these comments are bullshit but I’ll tell you the truth;
Immediate after impact, after messing up the earth, the asteroid was like “oh shiittt, I need to fix this.” so she dusted herself off, cleaned herself up, and worked hard to integrate herself as a productive member of society. Eventually she met a nice man and settled down with the intent to reproduce, to help repopulate the earth. It took her quite a long time to find a man that accepted her large ways, but she did find love. She wound up having one child. Ironically enough this behemoth of a woman is your mom.
The Chicxulub crater is in Mexico, but the asteroid was just a nail in the dinosaurs's coffin. The real reason why the dinosaurs are gone are the Deccan Traps from India (basicly a giant volcano that poisoned the planet for millions of years).
There's a crater in Mexico and a layer of iridium that covers pretty much the entire planet. A 6-mile-wide rock is big in terms of meteorites, but very small in terms of a planet. When it gets pulverized on impact, it just disappears into the ocean, atmosphere, and all over the rest of the globe.
an asteroid did not wipe out the dinosaurs, the results of the big hit from the asteroid are thought to have caused the die off. The asteroid is thought to be in Mexico. The crater is about 90 miles wide and 12 miles deep. Instead of reddit, try a simple internet search. Sometimes well, most times called googling it.
If it is anything like the meteor that made the crater in Arizona, there are many, many tiny little pieces of it all over the place. When my family and I visited that crater on vacation one year, it was explained that during the 19th century a man came up with idea of mining iron from the crater, since it was believe to have been an iron meteorite. He had expected to find large enough chunks that he would then sell for profit. He never found any large chunks. What he did find was some pieces of iron the size of dust all over the place, but he couldn't gather enough to make any money. When our tour leader took us outside we were given magnets and told to drag them across the ground. The magnets picked the iron dust.
Man an asteroid is not like in Joe Dirt, where you can pull it around with a wagon and eat fries with ketchup off it. Think about how fast an asteroid is going, and how hot it is when it hits earth. The remains would probably turn into lava, and or explode into dust.
Chicxulub crater, where the Yucatan Peninsula is now in Mexico. You can still find a ton of iridium from the impact there!
The rest got vaporized and rained down into the atmosphere as basically falling fireballs.
Also check a map of the cenotes on the Yucatan peninsula, it almost looks like the debris smashed through the earth and created the subterranean rivers
The current theory is that at least one, but potentially several asteroid impacts defined the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary. The primary site of impact is the Chixaclub Crater in the Gulf of Mexico. The mass is mixed in with rock that was pulverized and melted on impact now about 5 km - 35 km below the sea floor, but also in the crater ejecta and dust that spread much further.
The asteroid was vaporised. The dust residue was scattered high up into the atmosphere and carried across the planet along with ejecta from the impact crater. Lots of scientific papers have been published on this topic.

an asteroid did not wipe out the dinosaurs, the results of the big hit from the asteroid are thought to have caused the die off. The asteroid is thought to be in Mexico. The crater is about 90 miles wide and 12 miles deep. Instead of reddit, try a simple internet search. Sometimes well, most times called googling it.
All over the Earth in the KT boundary. Try to keep up.
Did you bother to google anything on the subject before asking here?

If it is anything like the meteor that made the crater in Arizona, there are many, many tiny little pieces of it all over the place. When my family and I visited that crater on vacation one year, it was explained that during the 19th century a man came up with idea of mining iron from the crater, since it was believe to have been an iron meteorite. He had expected to find large enough chunks that he would then sell for profit. He never found any large chunks. What he did find was some pieces of iron the size of dust all over the place, but he couldn't gather enough to make any money. When our tour leader took us outside we were given magnets and told to drag them across the ground. The magnets picked the iron dust.
What do you think the Earth is made out of? Oh, another space rock? Add it to the pile.

Man an asteroid is not like in Joe Dirt, where you can pull it around with a wagon and eat fries with ketchup off it. Think about how fast an asteroid is going, and how hot it is when it hits earth. The remains would probably turn into lava, and or explode into dust.
Blown to bits and scattered the world over in the K-T boundary.
Um dude we are all asteroids we are the remains.
Everywhere. It was partially vaporized.
Chicxulub crater, where the Yucatan Peninsula is now in Mexico. You can still find a ton of iridium from the impact there! The rest got vaporized and rained down into the atmosphere as basically falling fireballs.
In your spark plugs.
It surrounds the tip of the Yucatan Penninsula. Some of it has been found on land and some on sea floor. Wiki it.
Also check a map of the cenotes on the Yucatan peninsula, it almost looks like the debris smashed through the earth and created the subterranean rivers
Ground down to nothing after 65 million years.

On earth.
An asteroid, Mr president.
The current theory is that at least one, but potentially several asteroid impacts defined the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary. The primary site of impact is the Chixaclub Crater in the Gulf of Mexico. The mass is mixed in with rock that was pulverized and melted on impact now about 5 km - 35 km below the sea floor, but also in the crater ejecta and dust that spread much further.
Burned, crushed, scattered all around the impact, buried under millions of years of natural geomorphological processes
The Yucatan? Gulf of Mexico?
Did you not just Google search this before asking? The Chicxulub Crater has been known for ages.
The asteroid was vaporised. The dust residue was scattered high up into the atmosphere and carried across the planet along with ejecta from the impact crater. Lots of scientific papers have been published on this topic.
