Timing of Hot Spot—Related Volcanism and the Breakup of Madagascar and India

TL;DR: The evidence suggests that the thick lava pile at Volcan de l'Androy in the south of the island marks the focal point of the Marion hot spot at ∼88 million years ago and that this mantle plume was instrumental in causing continental breakup.

Kerguelen Hotspot Magma Output since 130 Ma
Millard F. Coffin,Pringle,Robert A. Duncan,Tadeusz P. Gladczenko,Michael Storey,Ralph Müller,L.A. Gahagan +6 more
TL;DR: The Kerguelen hotspot (Indian Ocean) has produced basalt for about 130 Myr, the longest known volcanic records from a single source as mentioned in this paper, and its output rates have varied in ways not predicted by current geodynamic models; maximum eruption volumes postdate the initial surface manifestation of the hotspot as well as break-up between Antarctica and India by ∶15 Myr.
Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum and the opening of the Northeast Atlantic.
TL;DR: In this paper, 40Ar/39Ar age determinations show that the Danish Ash-17 deposit, which overlies the PETM by about 450,000 years in the Atlantic, and the Skraenterne Formation Tuff, representing the end of 1 ± 0.5 million years of massive volcanism in East Greenland, are coeval.

An oceanic flood basalt province within the Caribbean plate
TL;DR: The results of 40Ar-39Ar radiometric dating, major-, trace-element, and isotopic compositions of basalts from some of the exposed sections as well as drill core basalt samples from Leg 15 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project are presented in this paper.

Rapid formation of Ontong Java Plateau by Aptian mantle plume volcanism
John A. Tarduno,William V. Sliter,Loren W. Kroenke,M. Leckie,H. Mayer,John J. Mahoney,Robert J. Musgrave,Michael Storey,Edward L. Winterer +8 more
TL;DR: Formation of the OJP may have led to a rise in sea level that induced global oceanic anoxia and carbon dioxide emissions likely contributed to the mid-Cretaceous greenhouse climate but did not provoke major biologic extinctions.
