  • Percentage of Mass Extinction of Ordovician - Silurian
    85%
  • Percentage of Mass Extinction of Late Devonian
    75%
  • The extinction event that occurred during the late Paleozoic Era is known as the "Great Dying" or the "Permian-Triassic mass extinction." It was one of the most severe extinctions, with an estimated loss of up to 90% of all marine species.
  • Percentage of mass Extinction of Permian-Triassic
    96%

    80%
  • Percentage of mass extinctions in Cretaceous -Paleogene
    76%
