I agree with you Terry that it could likely be some form of solar event. Maybe you should check the historical sun spot record if available for that time frame to get some form of correlation.
It also makes one wonder if similar, ever more powerful, events in history have resulted in a driving mechanism for evolution. The poor creatures around during such an occasion would not even know what hit them! If this type of event happens frequently in the history of life on earth one would expect DNA to have a built in mechanism to correct for a moderate radiation burst. I do recall reading about repeated sequences within our DNA and these bursts might indicate a good reason for that to be true.
