Deeper in time, a mass extinction event that ended the Devonian Period, a geological era when life thrived on land for the first time, was also attributed to a hyperthermal event likely triggered ...

This unprecedented die-off is now known as the earth’s first mass extinction, the Late Ordovician mass extinction or simply LOME. Many researchers have devoted time, or even careers, to uncovering the ...

A mass extinction occurs when at least 75% of species are destroyed. The Earth has had five. The last one, about 65 million years ago, wiped out most dinosaurs.

Surprising new fossil evidence undermines the idea that there was ever a mass extinction on land – and may force us to ...

A new study challenges long-held assumptions about survival following a global catastrophe. If you're an animal trying to ...

The K-Pg extinction is the most recent of five events in Earth’s history that scientists consider mass extinctions, defined by paleontologists as events where more than 75 percent of species vanish ...

Likewise, the Carnian pluvial episode, a smaller mass-extinction event that I’m also fond of and that occurred some 230 million years ago, was so pivotal that the scientists who study this ...
