Scientists Uncover Catastrophic Underwater Event Behind Earth’s Greatest Mass Extinction 250 Million Years Ago
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have revealed compelling new evidence pinpointing a massive underwater event as the primary trigger for the Great Permian Extinction, the most devastating mass extinction in Earth’s history that occurred approximately 250 million years ago. This ancient catastrophe wiped out nearly 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrates, reshaping the trajectory of life on the planet. Recent research conducted by an international team of geologists and paleontologists has uncovered detailed signs of a colossal oceanic disaster that aligns with the timing of the end-Permian extinction.
