U-Pb constraints on pulsed eruption of the Deccan Traps across the end-Cretaceous mass extinction
Open accessAbstract
Two timelines for extinction: The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction that wiped out the nonavian dinosaurs 66 million years ago was correlated with two extreme events: The Chicxulub impact occurred at roughly the same time that massive amounts of lava were erupting from the Deccan Traps (see the Perspective by Burgess). Sprain et al. used argon-argon dating of the volcanic ash from the Deccan Traps to argue that a steady eruption of the flood basalts mostly occurred after the Chicxulub impact. Schoene et al. used uranium-lead dating of zircons from ash beds and concluded that four large magmatic pulses occurred during the flood basalt eruption, the first of which preceded the Chicxulub impact. Whatever the correct ordering of events, better constraints on the timing and rates of the eruption will help elucidate how volcanic gas influenced climate.

Overview
CoChat Summary
Written by AI from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
U-Pb zircon geochronology shows the Deccan Traps erupted in four high-volume pulses, each ≤100 kyr, separated by quiescence, with the Poladpur pulse beginning tens of kyr before the K-Pg extinction and Chicxulub impact. The results support extinction models incorporating both Deccan volcanism and the bolide impact as drivers of end-Cretaceous environmental deterioration.
Key findings
- The Deccan Traps erupted in four high-volume events, each lasting ≤100 kyr: first, lowermost seven formations at ~66.3–66.15 Ma; second, Poladpur Fm at ~66.1–66.0 Ma; third, Ambenali Fm at ~65.9–65.8 Ma; fourth, uppermost Mahabaleshwar Fm (text states ~65.6–66.5 Ma, apparently inverted).
- MCMC outputs give a ~90% probability that the Poladpur Fm eruption pulse began tens of kyr before the K-Pg mass extinction; the K-Pg boundary is estimated at 66.016 ± 0.050 Ma (95% C.I., internal uncertainties only).
- Eruption rates: global volcanic flux is 3–4 km³/yr; Deccan events imply an average doubling of global volcanic activity for ≤100 kyr, with periods >5–10× the global average. U-Pb geochronology permits rates >1000 km³/yr, requiring hiatuses of 100s–1000s of years within resolved pulses.
- Proxy correlation: initial warming at ~66.3 Ma and carbonate dissolution occurred during the first Deccan pulse; cooling began before and continued through Poladpur initiation; a second Os isotope downturn synchronous with Poladpur is also consistent with increased weathering of a more extensive Deccan basalt pile.
Methods
- U-Pb zircon geochronology by ID-TIMS on 141 sampled redboles and coarse-grained basalts; 23 redboles and one basalt yielded sufficient zircon (≥5 crystals), giving 24 dated horizons. Twenty-one horizons came from five Western Ghats sections covering the upper four Deccan formations; three spanned the lower five formations.
- Bayesian statistics and a Markov Chain Monte Carlo model imposed stratigraphic superposition on U-Pb zircon dates to build a composite age model, then converted outputs into probabilistic volumetric eruption rates using the Richards et al. volume model.
- Results were compared with a published U-Pb K-Pg boundary date and with benthic foraminifera δ¹⁸O and marine carbonate Os isotope proxy records.
Limitations
- Stated: the adopted volume model carries nontrivial uncertainties; the mass and age of submerged, inaccessible Deccan basalt off India’s western shore are unconstrained and considered intractable, so all eruption rates are likely minimum estimates, and it cannot be assessed whether the offshore component erupted during the same intervals.
- Stated: comparison with ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronology is not currently possible at the necessary precision because of systematic bias between dating methods; refined age accuracy depends on proper stratigraphic placement, independent of exact stratigraphic heights.
- Evident from the text: the fourth pulse age range as printed (~65.6–66.5 Ma) is internally inconsistent with the preceding Ambenali pulse, and some figure/reference text in the provided version is garbled.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-12, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-12 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
