The crater, buried beneath a half-mile of ice and discovered by some serious airborne and satellite sleuthing, is more than twice as big as the one involved in the demise of the dinosaurs.

The newfound crater is more than twice the size of the Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan peninsula, which marks the impact that may have ultimately killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

Ahhhh, answered my own question. It is so hard to take "scientists" seriously these days.

That statement had good wording, because some of the absolute most recent K/T boundary research is downplaying the likelihood that the Chicxulub crater caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, and the climate change + increased volcanism theory is regaining lost ground.

This impact was before there were dinosaurs.
