Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{
vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Yucatan chix crater.svg”—then the template
Vector version available (or
Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This map image was
uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or
SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without
compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts
removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for
vectorisation, please tag this image with
{{Convert to SVG}} instead of
{{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use
{{Convert to PNG}}. For more information, see

Summary
DescriptionYucatan chix crater.jpg
English: This shaded relief image of Mexico's
Yucatán Peninsula shows a subtle, but unmistakable, indication of the Chicxulub impact crater. Most scientists now agree that this impact was the cause of the
Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction, the event 65 million years ago that marked the sudden extinction of the dinosaurs as well as the majority of life then on Earth.
