A team of scientists from New York University and Carnegie Institution for Science performed an analysis of the ten recognized non-marine mass extinctions and detected…
Non-marine animals (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) have apparently experienced at least 10 distinct episodes of intensified extinctions over the past 300 million years. Eight of these extinction events are concurrent with known marine mass extinctions, which previously yielded evidence for an underlying period of 26.4 to 27.3 million years ago. In new research, a team of scientists from New York University and Carnegie Institution for Science performed an analysis of the ten recognized…
