The crater is more than 180 kilometers (110 mi) in diameter, making the feature one of the largest confirmed impact structures in the world; the impacting bolide that formed the crater was at least 10 km (6 mi) in diameter
The Chicxulub Crater is located near the city Chicxulub in Mexico. This crater is approximately 66 million years old and discovered by Antonio Camago and Glenn Penfield in the late 1970's.
End of the Mesozoic era
The Chicxulub crater lies buried, straddling the northwest coastline of the Yucatán peninsula
A hole in the ground caused by a meteorite is called a meteorite crater. These craters are formed when a meteorite impacts the Earth's surface, creating a depression due to the immense energy released during the collision. The size and shape of the crater can vary depending on the size, speed, and angle of the impacting meteorite. Notable examples include the Barringer Crater in Arizona and the Chicxulub Crater in Mexico.
The Chicxulub crater was formed around 66 million years ago when a massive asteroid struck the Earth, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs and significant changes in the Earth's ecosystem.

Chicxulub is a town located in the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It is also the name of the impact crater buried beneath the town, which was formed by the asteroid impact that is widely believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago.
The Chicxulub crater is the area in the state of Yucatan that was hit by an asteroid. It is about 66 million years old.
You mean the Chicxulub crater, which is connected with the extinction of dinosaurs? It has a diameter of approximately 180 kilometers (112 miles).

The Chicxulub crater is believed to have formed around 66 million years ago during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. This impact is associated with the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and many other species on Earth.
I guess you mean the crater in Mexico where many think the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs fell. That is the Chicxulub crater, covering almost half of the Yucatan peninsula.
