The Deccan Traps

 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.  Genesis 7:12

"It wasn’t the Chicxulub meteor impact in Mexico that wiped out the dinosaurs, but monumental volcanic eruptions in India. That’s what paleontologist Gerta Keller and geochemist Thierry Adatte claim in their poster presentations to the Geological Society of America,

The gigantic lava flows of the Deccan Traps extend 600 miles across India and are more than 3,000 ft. thick. 80% of the lava gushed from the eruptions in one main phase, spewing ten times more gas into the atmosphere than the Chicxulub meteor impact.
Keller’s revival of an old idea is based on her study of a 30 ft. layer of marine sediment sandwiched between two lava ‘traps’ near the Bay of Bengal. 
 
The cataclysmic eruptions point to rapid processes. 
Thick sedimentation means lots of water. Such evidence for large-scale watery catastrophe is consistent with Noah’s Flood but seems to have been missed because of a blinding belief in long ages." CMI
