>>It says the object that made the crater would be about 25 miles in
diameter...that seems to be way too large to end up with life recovering like it
did. It also suggested that it could have been the cause of the dinosaur
extinction and then suggested it might have caused the Volcanic Deccan
traps? Weren't these two events a couple hundred million years apart?

Okay...I just looked it up...I was wrong...the traps were around 65 to 68
million years ago...about the same time as the dinosaur killing asteroid
off of Yucatan showed up.
