Three‐dimensional magnetic imaging of the Chicxulub Crater
Abstract
Although few magnetization measurements are available for the structural elements of the Chicxulub impact crater, the magnetization intensities of the melt sheet, upper breccia unit, and central uplift are 3–4 orders of magnitude greater than the 3‐ to 4‐km‐thick carbonate and evaporite stratigraphy covering the Yucatan block. This allows three‐dimensional modeling of the crater's structure by inversion using a two‐layer model. Two layers are separately inverted by dividing the crater's magnetic field expression into <40‐ and >40‐km wavelength components. The upper layer (average depth 2 km) models the distribution of highly‐magnetized zones in the crater's melt sheet. The lower layer (average depth 5 km) represents relief on the Yucatan block's basement surface and effectively maps the crater's ∼50‐km‐diameter central uplift and possibly the expression of the surrounding collapsed disruption cavity fill. The shallower magnetized zones consist of two generally concentric distributions, at radii of ∼20 and ∼45 km. These highly magnetized zones are thought to result from hydrothermal systems, localized at the edge of the central uplift and the collapsed disruption cavity, having produced magnetic phases during alteration of the melt sheet.

The magnetic sources are largely confined to two partially concentric zones at ~40 km and ~90 km diameter, which have been inferred to be zones of increased hydraulic permeability.

The short-wavelength, high-amplitude magnetic anomalies (<90 km in diameter) at Chicxulub are modeled as local magnetized zones at depths of 1-1.5 km, due to magnetic sources at the top of the impact-melt sheet and/or suevitic breccias.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
