Abstract
Deccan large igneous province (DLIP) or the Deccan Trap refer to the voluminous (1.3 × 106 km3) flood basalts, with an areal extent of ~500,000 km2, that erupted over the Indian subcontinent between ~69 and 62 Ma (Rao and Lehmann in Earth-Sci Rev 107(3–4):315–324, 2011 and references therein; Roy in Indian J Geosci 66:181–192, 2012) as the Indian lithosphere was drifting over the reunion hotspot (van Hinsbergen et al. in J Geophys Res Solid Earth 116, 2011).
