9 kilometers is roughly 5.6 miles, for those of us who have no gut-feel for klicks. Pretty sizable crater.

What was supposed to be going on with pangeia at the time, or is this supposed to be eons later?

Very difficult to know the exact timing. Perhaps they can locate the Chicxulub layer, which shows up world wide, and determine if this impact was at the same time, or a little before or after.

Ooh, nice twofer, in two senses -- a doublet crater (pair of impacts) had long been suspected, though not necessary. Thanks Red Badger.

100% agree his faculty webpage is full of climate propaganda and other international UN nonsense.

The planet is covered with impacts like all planets
To: Red Badger
It’s a funny kind of asteroid that takes millions of years to kill off the dinosaurs. Also a very selective asteroid that kills chicken sized dinosaurs but not equal sized reptiles and mammals

I agree. Each science team seeks to find THE impact that did this or that. I suspect none were quite as dramatic as they are made to seem. But, it is likely that from time to time impacts occurred that changed climate AND weather for at least a short period of time. Maybe that’s enough to cause lasting changes in the plant and animal worlds. Who knows?
