Aren't several bonebeds in the American Midwest due to death by volcanic 
activity?   I'm thinking of a group death of some kind of hadrosaurs.  
The Rockies were forming during the Creataceous, weren't they?  So the 
Montana and Utah and Alberta dinosaurs may have seen volcanic activities. 
 Right?   Just not often.  About like what Lassen gets now.

(ps.  blame the volcanic pictures kids draw on on a heritage of 
misdirection.  Disney's Fantasia had the dinosaur sequence shown in 
schools for many years after as a teaching aid. That generation now 
teaches this generation.  Gotta love Disney for what he did to the 
education of the American Public)
