Many different organisms went extinct at the end of the Permian. Some of them include trilobites, conodonts, sea scorpions, and blastoids. Many other groups were nearly wiped out, with only a few species surviving. Brachiopods were decimated by the extinction event and never fully recovered as clams became more dominant.

When geologist refer to the Big Five they are referring to the five mass extinctions on Earth. Some of these extinctions are the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
which of these animals is extinct +++ Quite! "Which of these..." gives us no list from which to pick the right answers. One of the most famous modern extinctions was of the Dodo, a flightless bird killed by hunters in the 19C. Apart from man-made extinctions there have been several massive extinctions throughout geological time, including that which wiped out the dinosaurs some 65Ma (just recently suggested as the culmination of a major series of species deaths over the preceding 50M years). Another, in the Permian Period some 200MA (number of years from memory) was even greater, killing over 90% of life on Earth.
The Permian period extends from 298.9 to 252.17 million years ago. it followed the Paleozoic period and came before the Triassic period. The climate at the time was very dry thanks to the destruction of rainforests. At the beginning of the Permian period, the Earth was still very cold but gradually warmed throughout the years.
During the Permian period, Earth experienced the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea, extensive glaciation in the southern hemisphere, and the diversification of reptiles. The Permian-Triassic extinction event, the largest mass extinction in Earth's history, occurred at the end of the period, resulting in the loss of around 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial species.
The Permian Period,248 million years ago, was the largest extinction period on Earth. Ninety to ninety-five percent of marine species were eliminated, including fusulinid foraminifera, trilobites, rugose and tabulate corals, blastoids, acanthodians, placoderms, and pelycosaurs. Numbers of sharks and bony fish were drastically reduced during this period.
During the Permian period, which lasted from approximately 299 to 252 million years ago, glaciers were not widespread. However, there were glacial deposits found in some regions, particularly in the late Permian, indicating that localized glaciation occurred, likely in high-altitude or polar areas. The overall climate during most of the Permian was generally warm and arid, contrasting with the extensive glaciation seen in earlier periods like the Carboniferous.
Tylacine(or Tasmanian wolf), moa, steller's sea cow, and the Guam flying fox are some extict animals.
In the last 500 million years, there have been five major mass extinctions, often referred to as the "Big Five." These include the Late Ordovician, Late Devonian, Permian-Triassic, Late Triassic, and Cretaceous-Paleogene extinctions. Each event resulted in the significant loss of biodiversity and had profound impacts on Earth's ecosystems. Additionally, some scientists suggest that we may be in the midst of a sixth mass extinction driven by human activities.
I believe in cretaceous eraThe Permian Extinction at the end of the Permian era wiped out over 90% of all life on Earth. It happened around 248 million years ago. We think it was a combination of volcanism, and massive global environmental change. There is some evidence (very little) that a comet or asteroid hurried things along.
Quoth the wikipedia (linked below) -------------------------------------------- The last of the trilobites disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 250 million years ago. -------------------------------------------
During the Permian period, which lasted from approximately 299 to 252 million years ago, global temperatures varied significantly but were generally warmer than today. Average temperatures are estimated to have ranged from around 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), with some regions experiencing even higher temperatures. This period saw the development of extensive deserts and is characterized by a significant climate shift toward arid conditions, particularly in the latter part of the period. The end of the Permian is marked by the largest mass extinction event, which was likely influenced by dramatic climate changes.
