  28. P Life on Earth • Impacts from extraterrestrial bodies • the latest big one was at the K/T boundary about 66 million years ago • it corresponds with the extinction of the dinosaurs • in 1991 bull’s eye pattern of gravity variations was detected off northern Yucatan (Chicxulub) • the circle was 180 km in diameter

  29. P Life on Earth • other more recent events include: • Winslow, Arizona about 50,000 years ago leaving a crater 4,000’ wide and 750’ deep - caused by an object 135’ in diameter traveling at 12 miles a second with an explosive force of 15 megatons • Tunguska, Siberia - 1908 - no crater, extensive damage, 10 megatons, site not visited for 20 years
