Yes agreed with the 'fact' that some 260 millions Y agò there was a kind of mass extinction (ELE).

Now with all respect for the researchers in the UK , it has to be recalled that in those ages here there was 'PANGEA' and therefore how can they say and write that a Volcano in 'China' caused the ELE ????

What China and Asia were in Pangea is a pure computer based modeling...that is simpler words means 'a lot of inference'....

Therefore it appears that NO 'chinese volcano' could possibly have caused any ELE some 260M Y agò....for the simple fact that China did not exist at all some 260 M Y agò..

PLS let them know about 'Pangea'......

Regards to Pangea and subsequent actual Gea.
