Can any of the geologically knowledgeable on the list tell me
the best current estimates of the date of the Chicxlub event? I find
references to "about" 64 and 65 million years ago but also have "67"
rattling around in my head. I know geological dating isn't as precise
as spectroscopy but what's the best guess?
& a more trivial question: What's the preferred spelling? I
find Chicxlub spelled thus, but also with an extra u, Chicxulub.

Shalom,

George
