The blue graph shows the apparent percentage (not the absolute number) of marine animal genera becoming extinct during any given time interval. It does not represent all marine species, just those that are readily fossilized.
In 1874, both houses of Congress passed H.R. 921, [21] To prevent the useless slaughter of buffaloes within the territories of the United States, but President Ulysses S.
