    no-

    I think Tanis makes it pretty clear that the Traps are not the cause. LEtterly they all died in a single moment of a single day...poof

    The traps would have rendered many species more vulnerable to
    extinction. I think that's the point.

    Just so. The traps were hurting everybody, but THE day lots died is undeniable.

    The only real question is whether the astorid strike caused the Traps to explode.

    The traps were going bnefore the asteroid strike, so that's not a live question.

    The traps were going well before, and they continued after. They may have perked
    up after the impact. The whole earth rang like a bell.

    I take it, then, that the whole theory of the Deccan Traps being some sort of antipodal reaction to the Chix strike was discarded some years ago?

    RIght. The traps were active long before Chix.
