The geologic record shows that cataclysmic volcanic eruptions occurred around the same time as two periods of mass extinctions.

There is also evidence that the two may be linked. The Shiva crater is contemporaneous with the Chicxulub in the Yucatan and some geologists link it to the Deccan flood basalts. The Siberian flood basalts are contemporaneous with the P-T boundary, and are large enough to have covered a large impact crater.

Yeah, maybe, but a big blow at Yellowstone would still be pretty bad news.

Saturn's, Mimas

The surface of Mimas is dominated by an impact crater 130 km across, known as Herschel; it's almost 1/3 of the diameter of the entire moon. Herschel's walls are approximately 5 km high, parts of its floor measure 10 km deep, and its central peak rises 6 km above the crater floor. The impact that made this crater must have nearly disrupted Mimas. Fractures can be seen on the opposite side of Mimas that may be due to the same impact.

The surface is saturated with impact craters. But no others are nearly as large as Herschel. This suggests that early in its history, Mimas was probably impacted by even larger bodies than the one that created Herschel which completely disrupted the new moon (wiping out the evidence of earlier large impacts) but that the impact debris then coalesced again to form present-day Mimas.
