Paleoenvironmental implications of Deccan volcanism relative to the KTB extinction

Abstract

Deccan Traps erupted in three main phases with 6% total Deccan volume in phase-1 (C30n), 80% in phase-2 (C29r) and 14% in phase-3 (C29n). Recent studies indicate that the bulk (80%) of Deccan trap eruptions (phase-2) occurred... [ view full abstract ]
