Move over, Smokey Bear – the Ohio State Fairgrounds could soon be home to another, more historic icon. A life-size sculpture of a prehistoric fish is planned for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources natural history area at the fairgrounds in Columbus. The state’s Legislative Service Commission described Dunkleosteus terrelli as “an extinct species of arthrodire placoderm fish (armored, jawed fish) that lived in the seas that covered parts of Ohio during the Late Devonian period, about 359 million to 382 million years ago.” It was the “largest aquatic predator of its time,” gr...

3 APRIL 2021 Life was trying, but it wasn't working out. As the Late Devonian period dragged on, more and more living things died out, culminating in one of the greatest mass extinction events our planet has ever witnessed, approximately 359 million years ago.   The culprit responsible for so much death may not have been local, scientists say. In fact, it might not have even come from our Solar System. Rather, a study published in August last year, led by astrophysicist Brian Fields from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, suggests this great extinguisher of life on Earth could h...

Sediment records shows new forests sparked the Devonian Mass Extinction There was a link between new growth and an explosion of plankton blooms Experts suggests new vegetation grew worldwide some 360M years ago This pushed new nutrients into the soil that trickled into oceans in waves It was enough to fuel plankton that grew to massive sizes around the globe The blooms then devoured all the oxygen, suffocating marine animals 

Nikk Ogasa, Contributor ( Inside Science ) -- Lub-dub. Lub-dub. Lub-dub. Like the pulse of a throbbing heart, death beat down upon the seas around 376 million to 360 million years ago. During this time over 70% of animal species disappeared, most of which lived in the ocean. These creatures perished in waves of extinction as oxygen levels in the water oscillated and the downward swings repeatedly suffocated the seas. It was the most devastating period of the Late Devonian Mass Extinction -- one of the five largest extinctions to ever plague the planet. But what triggered these pulses of death...
