The rocks that surrounded us date from the late Permian ... "That's your Permo-Triassic transition zone. Brace yourself, you're about to go through the extinction." The fossils embedded in ...

A new study reveals that Earth's biomes changed dramatically in the wake of mass volcanic eruptions 252 million years ago.

The Permian-Triassic extinction, also known as the Great Dying, was the most devastating event in Earth’s history. 96% of ...

The mass extinction that killed 80% of life on Earth 250 million ... Yang and his colleagues found that during the late ...

The mass extinction that ended the Permian geological epoch, 252 million years ago, wiped out most animals living on Earth. Huge volcanoes erupted, releasing 100,000 billion metric tons of carbon ...

Research shows how Earth's climate suddenly warmed 10°C, transforming ecosystems and causing the worst mass extinction in history.

However, the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event was not the worst loss of life in our planet’s history. That distinction belongs to the Permian-Triassic extinction or the Great Dying.

New research from the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart reconstructs Triassic terrestrial ecosystems using fossils ...

This conclusion was based on the discovery of many "missing" species in Early Triassic strata elsewhere, indicating temporary migration rather than permanent extinction. This stable vegetation ...

The mass extinction that ended the Permian geological epoch ... assemblages and numerical simulations describing possible climates from the late Permian to the early Triassic. We show that a shift ...

We know that climates then were hot, and especially so after the extinction event. How could these water-loving animals have been so successful?" The Early Triassic was a time of repeated volcanic ...
