the location suggests high probability that it is indeed mantle plume.
The rock formations process below the earth surface had created gaps resulting in creation of a weak zone in the Dolorite rocks.
Explaining the phenomenon, Mohan Rao maintained that an inorganic compound solution had oozed out of Uthosphere .
Diabase (pronounced /ˈdaɪ.əbeɪs/) or dolerite is a mafic, holocrystalline, subvolcanic rock equivalent to volcanic basalt or plutonic gabbro.
Diabase is usually found in smaller relatively shallow intrusive bodies such as dikes and sills. Diabase dikes occur in regions of crustal extension and often occur in dike swarms of hundreds of individual dikes or sills radiating from a single volcanic center.
Parts of the Deccan Traps of India, formed at the end of the Cretaceous also includes dolerite.

How about black sulphur (or sulfur for the Americans)
Sulfur Springs
Another - same place
Finally something scientific
There's more

Although the cause is still uncertain, the result starved the Earth's oceans of oxygen for nearly half a million years, causing the extinction of approximately 27 percent of marine invertebrates.[3] This global environmental disturbance increased atmospheric and oceanic temperatures.

Your fourth link kinda blew my mind.
I looked up the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary to learn more information.
I honestly never knew about this. C-T boundary

Westcoast, I continue to be impressed by your watchful eye.
Also, an astute conspiracy theorist would, at this point, conclude that this is related to the possible ongoing collapse of the Indo-Australian plate (if you'll recall: Tectonic Plates Collapsing under Pakistan and Indonesia).edit on 9-2-2011 by CLPrime because: (no reason given)

Which is especially interesting considering all of the fish and algae dying lately apparently from hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in the water).
I'm not sure how my mind is keeping all of these events straight, but I'm glad it is...I do seem to love making connections.
