The Chicxulub crater is an ancient crater located just off of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.

This crater is the one which implicates the demise of the dinosaurs over 65 million years ago.

The crater has a diameter of over 180 kilometers (110 miles) and the impacting asteroid has been calculated to be at least 10 km (6 miles) in diameter.

The amount of energy released has been calculated to be over 2 million times greater than the largest nuclear bomb (Tsar Bomba) at 50 megatons.
