Nov 21, 2014 at 21:51 comment added winwaed @plannapus I was thinking of articles in Geoscientist over the past few years. Unfortunately I don't have the articles handy to find their source references. Yes it could either or both. My understanding was a strong link between the carbon and the volcanism, but uncertainty as to the exact mechanism - cooked sediments and clathrates being the leading contenders.
Nov 21, 2014 at 16:06 comment added plannapus Well one hypothesis doesn't nullify the other, one can easily imagine both phenomena to have co-occurred and co-contributed.
Nov 21, 2014 at 15:48 comment added user889 That is interesting indeed... almost renders my answer moot. Though, I did find 2005 and 2014 articles that has suggestions of orbital influences.

reformatted question, reformulated a sentence and highlighted the question.
Nov 21, 2014 at 14:33 comment added plannapus @winwaed Are you refering to studies like Storey et al 2007? Never heard of that theory before today, this is interesting.
Nov 21, 2014 at 14:26 comment added winwaed As well as destabilization of clathrates, the finger is often pointed at the 'cooking' of organic rich sediments in the proto-North Atlantic. Today we find Paleogene lavas above carbon-rich sediments - eg. the West of Shetland oil fields.
