>AFAIK there was no lava flow in Deccan right at
the boundary. But I don't know the relevant literature.<
Probably wouldn't even matter if there was, because
in intertrappean deposits, we find dinosaur eggshell, teeth, bones, etc.,
indicating that the local population near the Traps wasn't even badly
affected. They keep hanging around in those deposits until the KT...none after,
even there.
