The colossal impact event, which triggered a mass extinction event over much of Earth's land and ocean environments, also filled the present-day Gulf of Mexico with nutrients for at least 700,000 ...

The researchers found evidence that osmium from the asteroid buried kilometers beneath the impact crater was continuously released in the Gulf of Mexico due to submarine hydrothermal activity.

Researchers think new evidence found in the Chicxulub Crater finally closes the case of what happened to the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

Cores extracted from the impact crater revealed evidence of an ancient, life-nurturing hydrothermal system in the wake of the catastrophe.

The asteroid that created the Chicxulub Crater in the Gulf of Mexico is estimated to have been about 12km across.

The impact that made the submarine depression probably occurred close to the dinosaur-ending Chicxulub event, but researchers say much remains to be learned.

The one seen in the Gulf of Mexico was a reasonably big one, which it would have to be as it resulted from the impact that killed the dinosaurs.

More than a week after the U.S. Coast Guard said that an estimated 1.1 million gallons of crude oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico near a pipeline off the coast of Louisiana, officials said they ...

The National Hurricane Center is tracking a system nearing the Gulf of Mexico with a 40% chance of formation this week. See timeline and predicted U.S. impact.
