Paleontology is the study of fossils, which are the remnants of "hard anatomy" such as bones and teeth. Fossils are analyzed and classified to learn more about morphology (form and structure) of a species and interpretation is done to fill in the gaps that we would have no way of knowing with an extinct species. There are around 9 different fields of paleontology with different areas of expertise. Palentology works by incorporating knowledge from biology, geology, ecology, anthropology, archaeology, and computer sciences.

In general, it means a historical catastrophe so great that it caused multiple extinctions at the same time (or in a very short period of time) affecting multiple species of animals and plants, often across several ecosystems.
One well-known example is the meteor impact of 65.5 million years ago, which wiped out almost all the dinosaurs and other large creatures, all over the Earth. But that wasn't even the biggest extinction event: that would be the Great Dying of 251 million years ago, when 95% of marine species, and 70% of land species, disappeared in a geological blink of an eye.
