Abstract

Deccan volcanism, with a duration of ∼5 Myr, represents a major continental flood basalt province in which ∼2 million km3 of lavas were formed. Such voluminous and rapid volcanism in Phanerozoic earth history has commonly been advanced as a cause for mass extinctions. Despite this significance, few studies have attempted to understand the influence of continental flood basalt volcanism on contemporary sedimentary environments.
