Fossils from China’s Turpan-Hami Basin reveal it was a rare land refuge during the end-Permian extinction, with fast ...

Fossils in China suggest some plants survived the End-Permian extinction, indicating land ecosystems fared differently from marine life.

Earth. Yet, a region in China provided a haven for plants and animals, revealing unexpected resilience. This discovery, published ...

The end-Permian mass extinction, which occurred approximately 252 million years ago, wiped out over 80% of marine species, and its impact on land has long been debated.

However, clams took over the oceans in the aftermath of the end-Permian extinction, along with oysters, snails, and slugs. Earth’s largest mass extinction eliminated a lot of marine species. But it ...

The spot may have served as a refugium–or life oasis–for terrestrial plants during the end-Permian mass extinction, when 80 to 90 percent of life on Earth was wiped out about 252 million years ...

About 250 million years ago, at the end of the Permian period, something killed some 90 percent of the planet's species. Less than 5 percent of the animal species in the seas survived. On land ...
