Did Giant Impact Off The Indian Coast Cause the K-T Extinction?

Wow.

This impact was huge--the impactor was 25 miles across (compared to 6 mi for the Chicxulub impactor.[)] It might also have set off the Deccan Traps...giving us a more unified theory of the causes of the K-T extinction.

  5. He wants you to make your own theories about the K-T extinction rather than posting those developed by others?
