The Permian was the last period of the Paleozoic Era, spanning 299-351 million years ago. It was a time during which reptiles diversified. It ended with the Permian-Triassic extinction event, the largest mass extinction in Earth's history.
Yes, trilobites were still present in the Permian, but at much lower numbers and diversity. Only the Order Proetida remained. The Permian ended with a mass extinction, and among the many groups which went extinct at the end of the Permian were the last trilobites. See Related Links below.
Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian Periods
Permian refers to a geologic period that occurred between 299 million and 252 million years ago. It is known for being the last period of the Paleozoic Era and marked the dominance of reptiles, the origin of mammals, and the diversification of plants. The Permian period ended with the largest mass extinction in Earth's history, wiping out a significant portion of marine and terrestrial life.
The most devastating mass extinction occurred in the Late Permian (~250 million years ago).
The largest extinction event known is the Permian-Triassic Extinction Event, 250 million years ago. It is nicknamed "The Great Dying" in reference to how 96% of all known marine animals and 70% of all known terrestrial vertebrates at the time went extinct due to climatic changes because of volcanic eruptions and the formation of Pangaea.
