Deccan dinosaurs?

[Sam Girouard <sampaula@pacificrim.net>]

        In my studies on the vertebrate paleontology of Washington State,
something occurred to me. Here in Washington we have the Columbia Basalts
(Miocene), which along with the Cretaceous Deccan Basalts make up the two
major flood basalt episodes in Earth's history. 
        In a pillow basalt wall of a canyon near Blue Lake, in eastern
Washington, there is a remarkable cave. When it was discovered in the 1930s,
several rockhounds found a small pile of warped bones on the bottom of the
cave, as well as odd protrusions into the basalt. The bones turned out to be
those of the rhino extinct Diceratotherium,  the two-horned rhino, and it
seemed probable that the cave must be the mold of the animal! A team from
Berkeley cast the mold, and indeed the result was a plaster rendering of a
bloated rhino carcass that was covered by advancing lava, preserved from
utter cremation due to water saturation. Although the rhino was already dead
when it was covered (killed by volcanic gasses?) and thus distorted through
bloating, the general outline of the animal was faithfully preserved.
        Now here's my question- if a Miocene rhino could be preserved as a
mold in flood basalt in Washington, why not a dinosaur in flood basalt in
India? Has anyone tried to locate such a fossil? Was the paleoenvironment
wet enough to preserve a dinosaur carcass from the heat of lava? The
potential for valuable anatomical information is obvious.
