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 Permian-Triassic extinction The largest of the Big Five was the end-Permian or Permian-Triassic extinction event roughly 250 million years ago, which eliminated as much as 95 percent of the planet's species. Before this extinction, marine animals were mostly filter feeders stuck in place on the seafloor, such as crinoids or sea lilies.
