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.
