Abstract
About 66 million years ago, a mountain‐sized asteroid hit what is now the Yucatan in Mexico at exactly the time of the Cretaceous‐Paleogene (K‐Pg) mass extinction. Evidence for the asteroid impact comes from sediments in the K‐Pg boundary layer, but the details of the event, including what precisely caused the mass extinction, are still being debated.
