Was there an ozone layer in the permian period?

During the Permian period, which lasted from about 299 to 251 million years ago, there was an ozone layer forming in Earth's stratosphere. This layer started to develop during the Proterozoic eon, approximately 500 million years ago, and continued to evolve through the Paleozoic era, which includes the Permian period.


What era did mass extinction end of Permian period?

The mass extinction at the end of the Permian period, known as the Permian-Triassic extinction event, occurred around 252 million years ago. This event marked the transition from the Paleozoic Era to the Mesozoic Era, leading to the most significant loss of biodiversity in Earth's history, with approximately 90-96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species going extinct. The aftermath of this extinction paved the way for the rise of the dinosaurs and other new life forms in the Triassic period.

What geologic time from 544 to 245 million years ago this is divided into seven periods?

The geologic time from 544 to 245 million years ago is known as the Paleozoic Era. It is divided into seven periods: Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, and the late Paleozoic. This era is characterized by significant developments in marine life, the emergence of terrestrial plants and animals, and major geological events such as the formation of supercontinents. The Paleozoic Era ended with the Permian-Triassic extinction event, the largest mass extinction in Earth's history.

How long ago did the 'paleozoic' era begin?

That would be 251 million years ago. The end of the Paleozoic era marks the beginning of the Mesozoic. The last period of the Paleozoic era was the Permian, and the first period of the Mesozoic era was the Triassic; hence the extinction event (the biggest extinction event in the earth's history), the Permian-Triassic extinction, which defines the border between the eras.
