A diverse set of fossils from China shows that a complex marine ecosystem existed 251 million years ago, shortly after a mass extinction wiped out most complex life on Earth

Burrowing animals were among the first to recover after the end-Permian mass extinction, according to researchers investigating ancient sea bed traces and burrows.

Burrowing animals were first to recover just after the end-Permian mass extinction, according to studies examining ancient sea bed trails and burrows.

Accelerating wildfires played a key role in the Great Dying by destroying ecosystems too quickly for plant and animal species to adapt.

In a new study, published today in the journal Science Advances, researchers from China, the USA and the UK, reveal how life in the sea recovered from the event, which killed over 90 percent of species on Earth, from their observations of trace fossi

About 65 million years ago, a giant asteroid smashed into Earth, likely somewhere in Mexico’s Yucat?n Peninsula, triggering a mass extinction event
