The Long-Lived Chicxulub Hydrothermal System Lasted 8 Million Years

The asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs also created an underground environment suited to supporting new life, and new research suggests it lasted for millions of years longer than previously suspected. While previous research showed the buried hydrothermal system of porous rock, hot water, and chemical nutrients may have lasted 2 million years, new research says it lasted for 8 million years.

Um estudo recente indica que o sistema hidrotermal resultante do impacto do asteroide Chicxulub durou cerca de 8 milhões de anos. Publicada na revista Nature Communications Earth and Environment, a pesquisa sugere que esses sistemas podem ter sido fundamentais para a origem da vida na Terra.

Radioisotopic age constraints and numerical simulations on the duration of hydrothermal activity associated with the Chicxulub impact structure indicate the system was active for 8 million years, four times longer than previous estimates

Study reveals dinosaur-extinction meteorite created long-lived habitat for microbial life.
A team of international researchers has uncovered new evidence that the Chicxulub meteorite impact, long known for causing the extinction of the dinosaurs, also created an underground environment that supported life for millions of years longer than previously thought.

Any thoughts on correlating the location of the Chicxulub asteroid impact location with the recent 6.1 magnitude earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico?
Coincidence? Other activity due to geological stress there?

The Chicxulub impact was a quick and catastrophic event with lasting consequences. Not talking about the thing with the dinosaurs - it drove significant hydrothermal activity for 8 million years across the entire region.

The Chicxulub impact signature in East Asia.
The Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary is defined by an asteroid impact at 66 million years ago at Chicxulub, Mexico. Despite extensive documentation worldwide, this boundary has not been clearly identified in East Asia, leaving a geographic gap in evaluating the global extent of impact records.
