Prehistoric ferns survived the Permian-Triassic extinction event primarily due to their adaptability and resilience. Their reproductive strategy, which relied on spores rather than seeds, allowed them to thrive in the drastically changing environments. Additionally, ferns are capable of rapidly colonizing disturbed areas, enabling them to take advantage of the ecological niches that became available after the extinction. These traits helped ferns endure the severe conditions and loss of biodiversity during this period.

When did the Cretaceous Tertiary extinction occur?
About 65.5 million years ago. The Cretaceous and Tertiary are geological time periods either side of this event. The event is significant because there was a large mass extinction event at this time including the extinction of all non avian dinosaurs. Most experts agree that the cause of the extinction was a asteroid impact.
What would survive in a mass extinction?
Typically, cold-blooded animals are more likely to survive mass extinctions than their warmblooded counterparts. Animals who are lower in the food chain are also more likely to survive. Mass extinctions, however, vary in their causes, and so also vary in their effects.
What type of reptile did not survive the mass extinction event at the end of the mesozoic era?

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.
What has occurred when a large number of species die out over short period of time?
That is usually referred to as a Mass Extinction, and what has happened is some very major event has occurred that cuts off the animals' ability to either eat, produce offspring, or otherwise survive, without a chance of migration to better locations.
