Which mass extinction? There have been five such events. The first one, the Ordovician-Silurian extinction event occurred before the Devonian. The Late Devonian event occurred during the Devonian. All other mass extinctions occurred after the Devonian.

No one knows for sure. Some people believe that an asteroid earlier in time hit Earth and caused massive climate change that killed off reptiles, but spared dinosaurs. Others believe that it was simply climate change.
The Devonian Period is a part of the Paleozoic Era, which covers the time from 541 to 252.17 million years ago. It began with the Cambrian explosion, in which most phyla of life began, and ended with the mass extinction called the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
Mass extinction is when many animals go extinct within a short period of time caused by the same variables/factors leading to the mass extinction.
the mass extinction
The Devonian time period ended because of a mass extinction of several species of fish, amphibians and other types of reptiles.
Jurassic period
The Devonian Period
Evolution is the term that describes development of new species and mass extinction. Over time all living thing have evolved.

No. The Jurassic was in the middle of the dinosaurs' reign on Earth. The time period after the extinction of the dinosaurs is referred to as the Paleogene or the Tertiary.
