Did the thrinaxodon go extinct during the End Triassic extinction?

Thrinaxodon lived during the Triassic Period. They died out about 245 million years ago, at the end of the Olenekian portion of the Triassic period.


Did the cretaceous or permian extinction cause dinosaurs to become extinct?

No, as there was no Cretaceous-Permian extinction. There was the Permian-Triassic extinction, which ocurred before the dinosaurs appeared. Non-avian dinosaurs were wiped out in the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.


What are the extinction of animals in the very distant past?

There were five major extinction events in the past. They are called the Cretaceous-Tertiary (or K-T) extinction event, the late Devonian mass extinction, the Permian mass extinction, the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction and the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction event.


When did the greatest extintion occur on earth?

The Permian-Triassic (P-Tr) Extinction Event is widely recognised as the greatest extinction event on Earth. It is also known as the "Great Dieing".It occurred 251 million years ago marking the end of the Permian Period and the start of the Triassic Period. It also marks the end of the Paleozoic Era and the start of the Mesozoic Era. Estimates have suggested that 96% of marine species and 70% percent of land vertebrate species became extinct. It is also the only known mass extinction of insect with 56% of insect families and 83% of insect genera becoming extinct.Little is known of the cause of the mass extinction but theories range from meteorite impacts, to volcanism, to sea level fluctuations.


How did the triassic-jurassic extinction event create diversification in dinosaurs?

The Triassic-Jurassic extinction event wiped out many existing species, allowing dinosaurs to fill the ecological niches left vacant. This sudden increase in available resources and habitats may have fostered the diversification of dinosaurs as they adapted to exploit new opportunities. The event likely acted as a catalyst for evolutionary innovation and rapid speciation within the dinosaur group.


What is the name of the major extinction that preceded the Mesozoic era?

The major extinction that preceded the Mesozoic era is called the Permian-Triassic extinction event, also known as the Great Dying. It occurred around 252 million years ago and is considered the most severe mass extinction event in Earth's history, wiping out approximately 96% of marine species and 70% of land species.


When did organisms suffer the largest mass extinction known?

The most devastating mass extinction occurred in the Late Permian (~250 million years ago).
