At ChicksClub.in, we are passionate about one of the most pivotal moments in Earth’s history: the day the dinosaurs vanished.
Our Story & The Name You might be wondering, “Why is a website about a prehistoric asteroid called Chicks Club?”
The answer is simple: Spelling is hard, but science shouldn’t be.
The crater that marks the end of the Cretaceous period is named Chicxulub (pronounced Cheek-shoe-loob). It’s a Mayan word that translates roughly to “The Flea of the Devil,” located in the Yucatán Peninsula. However, for years, students, teachers, and dinosaur enthusiasts have struggled to spell it, often searching for “Chicks Club,” “Chickxa-what?”, or “Chicks Lube.”
We built this platform to bridge that gap. We realized that curiosity shouldn’t be stopped by a difficult typo. Whether you type Chicxulub or Chicks Club, you deserve to find the fascinating truth about the event that paved the way for human existence.
Our Mission Our goal is to serve as an accessible, engaging educational resource about the K-Pg (Cretaceous–Paleogene) extinction event. We break down complex geological data into understandable stories, visual timelines, and interactive simulations.
What We Explore:
- The Impact: The physics behind the asteroid that struck with the force of 100 million atomic bombs.
- The Aftermath: From megatsunamis to global firestorms and the “impact winter.”
- The Discovery: The incredible story of how oil geophysicists accidentally found the “smoking gun” buried beneath the sea.
- The Evidence: How the Cenotes of Mexico outline the ghost of the crater today.
Thank you for visiting. We hope you enjoy exploring the end of an era—and the beginning of ours.
