After the end-Permian mass extinction, certain species thrived in warmer, oxygen-depleted waters, spreading globally. This ...

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

Scientists racing the clock to finish excavating top southern Utah dinosaur fossil site before construction on a power ...

Scientists don't call it the "Great Dying" for nothing. About 252 million years ago, upward of 80% of all marine species ...

Fossils from China’s Turpan-Hami Basin reveal it was a rare land refuge during the end-Permian extinction, with fast ...

After Earth's worst mass extinction, surviving ocean animals spread worldwide. Stanford's model shows why this happened.

But the extinction alone doesn't explain ... that surpass even those seen in the earliest Triassic, which has been the greatest homogenization event to date," the study authors wrote.

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.

Stanford scientists found that dramatic climate changes after the Great Dying enabled a few marine species to spread globally ...

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 ...
