[edit] Note on Numbers

I changed the numbers to all be done in text ("5 million"). Previously some were done in scientific notation (5 x 10⁶) and some in text. Either is okay but it should be done consistently. Jdorje

[edit] What?

I had no idea what these things were, so I looked them up here. Unfortunately, this article did really clarify anything for me. Maybe this article should start off with a simple explanation of Siberian Traps and then delve into details.

[edit] When did it occur

the article does directly say the estimated date of occurrence. it only references the Permian extinction. 64.111.137.238 00:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
