Aptian extinction: 117 Ma: Unknown, but may be due to volcanism of the Rajmahal Traps [15] Jurassic: End-Jurassic (Tithonian) 145 Ma: No longer regarded as a major extinction but rather a series of lesser events due to bolide impacts, eruptions of flood basalts, climate change and disruptions to oceanic systems [16]
Permian–Triassic boundary at Frazer Beach in New South Wales, with the End Permian extinction event located just above the coal layer [2]. Approximately 251.9 million years ago, the Permian–Triassic (P–T, P–Tr) extinction event (PTME; also known as the Late Permian extinction event, [3] the Latest Permian extinction event, [4] the End-Permian extinction event, [5] [6] and colloquially ...
Biodiversity patterns of planktic foraminifera indicate that the Cenomanian-Turonian extinction occurred in five phases. Phase I, which took place from 313,000 to 55,000 years before the onset of the anoxic event, witnessed a stratified water column and high planktonic foraminiferal diversity, suggesting a stable marine environment.

Extinctions are a normal part of the evolutionary process, and the background extinction rate is a measurement of "how often" they naturally occur. Normal extinction rates are often used as a comparison to present day extinction rates, to illustrate the higher frequency of extinction today than in all periods of non-extinction events before it.

A new climate report card paints a grim future if emissions aren't reduced: "Climate change is rewiring marine ecosystems at an alarming rate." Most marine species will face extinction without ...
Sepkoski (1996) plotted extinction rates for marine animal genera and families throughout the Phanerozoic. [15] This study found that >45% of genera were lost during the Famennian, [1] lowered to ~28% considering only "multiple interval" genera which appeared prior to the stage. The Famennian extinction(s) would be the eighth worst mass ...
