Target entity: Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event Context triple: [Cenozoic, startEvent, Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event]
-
A.
Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary
chosen
The Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary marks the geological transition 66 million years ago associated with a mass extinction event that wiped out non-avian dinosaurs and many other species, likely triggered by a large asteroid impact.
-
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.
Late Devonian extinction
The Late Devonian extinction was a prolonged series of biodiversity crises around 375–359 million years ago that devastated marine life, especially reef ecosystems and armored fishes, and ranks among the largest mass extinctions in Earth’s history.
-
D.
Chicxulub impact crater
The Chicxulub impact crater is a massive buried structure in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula formed by an asteroid impact widely linked to the mass extinction event that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs.
-
E.
Cambrian explosion
The Cambrian explosion was a relatively brief period around 541 million years ago when most major animal groups rapidly appeared in the fossil record, dramatically increasing the complexity and diversity of life on Earth.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
