A second mass extinction called the Hangenberg event, also known as the end-Devonian extinction, [6] occurred 359 million years ago, bringing an end to the Famennian and Devonian, as the world transitioned into the Carboniferous Period. [7]
The Hangenberg event, also known as the Hangenberg crisis or end-Devonian extinction, is a mass extinction that occurred at the end of the Famennian stage, the last stage in the Devonian Period (roughly 358.9 ± 0.4 million years ago).
The largest extinction was the Kellwasser Event (Frasnian-Famennian, or F-F, 372 Ma), an extinction event at the end of the Frasnian, about midway through the Late Devonian. This extinction annihilated coral reefs and numerous tropical benthic (seabed-living) animals such as jawless fish, brachiopods, and trilobites.
The Devonian (/ d ə ˈ v oʊ n i. ən, d ɛ-/ də-VOH-nee-ən, deh-) [9] [10] is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era during the Phanerozoic eon, spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the preceding Silurian period at 419.62 million years ago (), to the beginning of the succeeding Carboniferous period at 358.86 Ma.

The Dasberg Event was a minor extinction event that occurred during the Famennian, the final stage of the Devonian period. It is often considered to be one of the events contributing to the Late Devonian extinction, which is believed by many palaeontologists to have been a protracted event that took place over millions of years.
