Volcanism from the Emeishan Traps, [28] resulting in global cooling and other effects Olson's Extinction: 270 Ma Unknown. [29] [30] [31] Possibly a change in climate, but evidence for this is weak. [32] This event may actually be a slow decline over 20 Ma. [33] Carboniferous: Carboniferous rainforest collapse: 305 Ma
