→ Glossary:
• Asteroid: An asteroid is a rocky, carbonaceous or metallic body smaller than a planet and larger than a meteoroid

→ Summary: Approximately 66 million years ago the impact of the Chicxulub asteroid in the Yucatan peninsula produced a chain reaction that ended up with 70% of the planet's species. This catastrophic event produced a global incandescent rock shower. Now a new discovery of these rocks on the Colombian island of Gorgonilla throws new data on its composition. There was a heat pulse of up to 80 degrees Celsius on average so many forests burned spontaneously. To this we must add the incandescent rock shower mentioned above. The earthquakes caused by the impact became 13 on the Richter scale, something almost unimaginable today.

→ Personal opinion: This finding is very important to know with better clarity what happened and you can collect data that will provide very important information for the investigation.
