Phanerozoic mass extinctions
Phanerozoic mass extinctions are the handful of catastrophic, globally disruptive biodiversity crises over the last ~540 million years that abruptly wiped out large proportions of Earth’s species and reshaped the course of evolution.

NER
Named-entity recognition
gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).

Target entity: Phanerozoic mass extinctions Context triple: [Late Devonian extinction, partOf, Phanerozoic mass extinctions]
-
A.
Late Ordovician mass extinction
The Late Ordovician mass extinction was one of Earth’s largest biodiversity crises, during which severe climate change and glaciation led to the rapid loss of a substantial portion of marine species.
-
B.
Permian–Triassic mass extinction
The Permian–Triassic mass extinction was the most severe biodiversity crisis in Earth's history, wiping out the majority of marine and terrestrial species around 252 million years ago and marking the boundary between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
-
C.
Capitanian (Guadalupian) mass extinction
The Capitanian (Guadalupian) mass extinction was a major mid-Permian biodiversity crisis that significantly reduced marine life and set the stage for the even larger end-Permian extinction.
-
D.
Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event
The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event was a profound evolutionary radiation during the Ordovician Period that saw a dramatic increase in marine biodiversity and the establishment of many major animal groups in Paleozoic oceans.
-
E.
Carboniferous rainforest collapse
The Carboniferous rainforest collapse was a mass extinction and fragmentation event of vast tropical coal-forest ecosystems around 305 million years ago, profoundly reshaping terrestrial biodiversity and climate in the late Paleozoic.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
NEDg
