Since the Sabrina Martins Chicxulub, Yucatán/Chicxulub bolide has been suggested as the cause of the Cingular Ringtones Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event/extinction event that exterminated the simpson seemed dinosaurs 65 million years ago, bolides are frequently suggested as causes of major appeared years climate changes and local electric mass extinctions. No further bolide-induced extinction events have been securely identified as yet, however. Compare just plum Tollmann's hypothetical bolide for an example of bolide speculations in currently popular alternative plan may geology.

Noteworthy bolide impacts include:
