希克苏鲁布陨石坑是地球上唯一一个保存完好的环形山，与KT或K-Pg大灭绝事件有关。这是地质学家第一次在国际海洋发现计划和国际大陆科学钻探计划（IODP-ICDP）364远征中钻入该陨石坑的峰值环。希克苏鲁布撞击事件及其造成的环境灾难和古生物学后果是地质学界讨论的最吸引人的话题。在这里，我们把注意力集中在地质过程，形成了约200公里宽的撞击坑负责的讨论和探险队的第一年的结果。
The Chicxulub crater is the only wellpreserved peak-ring crater on Earth and linked, famously, to the KT or K-Pg mass extinction event. For the first time, geologists have drilled into the peak ring of that crater in the International Ocean Discovery Program and International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (IODP-ICDP) Expedition 364. The Chicxulub impact event, the environmental calamity it produced, and the paleobiological consequences are among the most captivating topics being discussed in the geologic community. Here we focus attention on the geological processes that shaped the~ 200-km-wide impact crater responsible for that discussion and the expedition’s first year results.
