That's interesting. I wonder if you could expound upon that just a little?
I ask because I recently read a book (Science Fiction...but supposedly based
on science) which had as part of it's premise that the dinosaurs were NOT
wiped out by an asteroid but rather by multiple and extreme volcanic eruptions
in India.
I'd never heard that before nor what you've just mentioned....but they
apparently might tie together.
