Until 1990, an oil exploration team in Mexico's Gocatan Peninsula stumbled upon a huge crater. Most of the crater is submerged at the bottom of the sea near the Yucatan Peninsula, with a width of about 160 to 240 kilometers. The age of the crater-covered sediment suggests that the giant crater was formed about 65 million years ago, coinciding with the extinction of the dinosaurs. The discovery of this evidence basically reached a consensus among scientists that the extinction of dinosaurs was caused by the impact of the meteorite on the earth.
