Evidence for a comet impact at Chicxulub and flood basalt event at the Deccan Traps is well researched. The two incidents occurred at approximately the same time in Earth's history, 66 million years ago, and were paramount in the K-T mass extinction event or 'death of the dinosaurs'.
This paper has proposed using ballistics as a further tool in the research regarding both events.
Ballistics research answers many of the issues surrounding the K-T extinction event and even proposes possible solutions to unanswered problems like geomagnetic reversal.
It is the conclusion of this research paper that a large comet traveling at extra-hypersonic speed hit and penetrated the Earth's crust 66 million years ago. The comet traveled into the mantle and when it came to a stop it created a massive energy wave. This giant pulse of energy powered through the centre of the Earth and created a magma plume that exploded out of the planet on the opposite side of the entrance site.
The Chicxulub comet was, in effect, a bullet entering the skull of the planet and the Deccan Traps were the catastrophic exit wound. The K-T mass extinction was a global assassination.
