There were at least 2 massive 'Life-Terminating-Deep-Impacts' within that time frame that could account for the degree of Ash Dispersion required.


It will be interesting to see what, if any, creature fossils they find.

If there was coal in those tree trunks humanity would never have known a thing about that forest.

when I saw Noeggerathiales... an extinct tree species that propagates with spores... I thought the same thing. If it happens I hope it is like 28 days later.
