Each segment has the same sets of organs and, in most polychaetes, has a pair of parapodia that many species use for locomotion. Septa separate the segments of many species, but are poorly defined or absent in others, and Echiura and Sipuncula show no obvious signs of segmentation.ach segment has the same sets of organs and, in most polychaetes, has a pair of parapodia that many species use for locomotion.

Chicxulub is most famous for being near the geographic center of the Chicxulub crater, an impact crater discovered by geologists on the YucatÃ¡n Peninsula and extending into the ocean. It was created by the impact some 65 million years ago of the Chicxulub impactor, an asteroid or comet which caused the CretaceousâPaleogene extinction event, which led to the demise of the dinosaurs.
Now, however, European and American scientists have re-tested debris from Chicxulub using state-of-the-art equipment and narrowed the asteroid impact down to a period of 11,000 years, between 66.03 and 66.04 million years ago â almost simultaneous with the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.
