Was that Nick Zentner? That would really surprise me.

Bryan,

both events are not so far apart on the geological timescale.
Most likely both events conspired to the demise of the dinosaurs.

I watched a lecture about the Washington flood basalts a week ago and was
interested to observe that the lecturer pinned the dinosaur extinction on
those volcanos with not one word about Chicxulub. I knew some geologist were
skeptical when the asteroid theory was announced by some physicists but I'm
surprised to see the resistance still exists this many years later.
