Late Devonian Extinction

The Late Devonian Extinction is a geologically documented mass extinction event, classified among the five major extinction episodes in Earth's history, distinguished by a prolonged series of biodiversity declines during the late Devonian period, primarily affecting marine ecosystems and resulting in the substantial loss of reef-building organisms, trilobites, and early vertebrate groups.
