Hi Dora,

<<How does this fit in terms of time to the theory that the Siberian basalt
flood eruption caused the end Permian extinction?>>

It doesn't, seeing as it's completely irrelevant.

<<Were the two events close together in time?>>

No.  500+ million years and 250 million years are approximately 250+ million
years apart.

<<It does look like two events caused the end-Cretaceous extinction.>>

Does it?
