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 ...

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

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

But humans may be nearly as deadly as giant volcanoes. A 2020 study, for example, found that a smaller extinction event at ...

The Permian-Triassic extinction, also known as the Great Dying, was the most devastating event in Earth’s history. 96% of marine life and 70% of terrestrial vertebrates vanished around 252 ...

"See that road cut?" he asked. "That's your Permo-Triassic transition zone. Brace yourself, you're about to go through the extinction." The fossils embedded in this road cut suggest that synapsids ...

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.

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

New research from the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart reconstructs Triassic terrestrial ecosystems using fossils ...

If this increase continues at the same rate, we will reach the level of emissions that caused the Permian-Triassic mass extinction in around 2,700 years—a much faster timescale than the Permian ...
