During the PermianâTriassic mass extinction event 252 million years ago, most life on Earth perished. Scientists have now obtained evidence that ocean acidification played a key role in the die-off. The new research was published in the journal Science on April 10, 2015. The PermianâTriassic mass extinction event is the largest such event to ever to have occurred on Earth. About 90% of all marine species and 70% of all terrestrial species died off during this time. It was much worse than the mass extinction event that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
