Wikipedia entry that disputes the volcanism possibility: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian%E2%80%93Triassic_extinc... I guess the newer article has evidence that the eruption was much greater in size than previously thought.

I remember a couple of years ago, Yellowstone had a string of quakes. That caldera is still rising... :/
