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

Researchers found a direct link between global dispersion of nickel-rich aerosols, ocean chemistry changes and the end-Permian mass extinction event that took place 251 million years ago.

The Permian-Triassic (P-T or PT) extinction event, sometimes informally called the Great Dying, was an extinction event that occurred approximately 251.0 million years ago (mya), forming the ...

(Phys.org)—The Permian geologic period that ended the Paleozoic era climaxed around 252 million years ago with a sweeping global mass extinction event in which 90 to 95 percent of marine life ...

New geochemical study confirms cause of end-Permian mass extinction event. Northern Arizona University. Journal Nature Communications DOI 10.1038/s41467-021-22066-7. Keywords ...

The end of the Permian was characterized by the greatest mass extinction event in Earth’s history. 252 million years ago, a series of volcanic eruptions in Siberia led to a massive release of ...

The analysis suggests that there was a mass extinction event at the time of the end-Permian, on land - and that it happened at the same time as the marine end-Permian extinction.

Though the End-Permian mass extinction event is predicted to have killed off 80% of all life on Earth, new research is revealing survivors. In what is now China, it seems that plants were able to ...

The Permian extinction reminds him of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, in which a corpse with 12 knife wounds is discovered on a train. Twelve different killers conspired to slay ...
