The most recent and debatably best-known, the CretaceousâPaleogene extinction event, which occurred approximately 66 million years ago (Ma), was a large-scale mass extinction of animal and plant species in a geologically short period of time.
The five largest extinction events in earth's history since are these: 1  End of the Ordovician: 440 million years ago, 86% of all species lost, including graptolites. 2  Late Devonian: 375 million years ago, 75% of species lost, including trilobites.
