Abstract:

The Deccan Volcanic Province is one of the world's largest continental flood basalt provinces, and derives additional importance because its eruptions (64-67 Ma) straddle the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary. To better assess the environmental impact of Deccan volcanism, and its possible effect upon Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary biota, it is necessary to document the stratigraphy, chronology and volume of the eruptions. New chemostratigraphical data permit mapping of the SE Deccan...
