. . . . Chicxulub Puerto en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_Puerto cannot be said to suffer from the same sort of historial egoism. Here, hidden behind carnival tents and fair games assembled in the twon plaza for easter vacation, was a strange stucco monument. The concrete slab was faced with goofy dinosaur skeletons carved in relief. As its base was a broke, bone-shaped blob of cement with an epitaph of odd, misspelled Spanish scrawled, apparently with a penknife, and memorizing the CATACLISMO MUNDIAL

AN ENORMOUS ASTEROID 10 KM IN DIAMETER HIT IN THIS LOCATION, it read.

It was ground zero for the most important event of the last 100 million years and this was its only memorial. ~ Page 201

Wonderfully absurd and touching. A version of Wes Craven’s Asteroid City via Malcolm Lowry.

A monument in the best *Italo-Byzantine spirit.
