The eruptive tempo of Deccan volcanism in relation to the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
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
High-precision 40Ar/39Ar ages from the Deccan Traps indicate quasi-continuous eruption for 991,000 years, with >90% of volume erupted in <1 million years and ~75% emplaced post-KPB, contradicting three discrete large pulses. The KPB is placed near the Lonavala-Wai transition, and Late Cretaceous climate change coincides with the smallest-volume Deccan phases, challenging a simple volume-driven gas-release link.
Key findings
- The Deccan Traps lavas erupted quasi-continuously for 991,000 years, from ~66.413 Ma to ~65.422 Ma, representing ~560,000 km³ and ~93% of the total estimated Deccan volume.
- The paper found no evidence for three discrete large pulses; >90% of Deccan volume erupted in <1 million years, with ~75% emplaced post-KPB. Mean extrusion rates were 0.4 ± 0.1 km³/year before the KPB (124,000 km³) and 0.6 ± 0.2 km³/year after the KPB (435,000 km³).
- The KPB is placed within or near the top of the Lonavala or basal Wai Subgroup. The Bushe-Poladpur transition at Ambenali Ghat has an interpolated age of 66.03 ± 0.04 Ma, indistinguishable from the KPB age of 66.052 ± 0.008 Ma, with the transition occurring between 60,000 years before and 20,000 years after the KPB.
- Late Cretaceous climate changes coincide with eruption of the smallest-volume Deccan phases, suggesting either that release of climate-modifying gases is not directly related to eruptive volume or that Deccan volcanism was not the source of Late Cretaceous climate change.
Methods
- The authors measured 19 new high-precision 40Ar/39Ar plagioclase ages from the Western Ghats, sampling each Deccan subgroup and all but two formations, with focused sampling near the Lonavala-Wai Subgroup transition.
- Samples were analyzed by 11- to 21-step heating experiments on multigrain plagioclase aliquots, with three to eight aliquots per sample and dense standard bracketing during irradiation.
- New ages were combined with previously published high-precision dates, and a Bayesian age model (“Bacon”) was applied to the Ambenali Ghat section to bracket the Bushe-Poladpur contact; volume estimates were based on previously published estimates weighted by areal extent.
Limitations
- Stated: the authors cannot exclude the possibility that the KPB occurs within the Bushe or lower half of the Poladpur Formation, though their model’s most probable placement is ~25 m below the Bushe-Poladpur contact.
- Stated: volume estimates have uncertainties, formation contacts may be diachronous between sections, and the Bayesian age model is most secure when applied to a continuous stratigraphic section, so it was applied only to the Ambenali Ghat section.
- Stated: better estimates of the amount and species of gas released, and improved understanding of relationships among lava extrusion, volatile release, and climatic effects of large igneous provinces, are needed. Evident from the text: the KPB in the Deccan is not directly dated but placed by interpolation using an external 40Ar/39Ar age from Montana and a contact bracketed by only one date from each formation.

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.
