One of many mass extinctions...
Nothing very special about it...

If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it. - Ernest Hemingway If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. -Cormac MacCarthy He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus

Wrong.
The Permian extinction saw the end of some 95% of all marine life and some 70% of Land families became extinct..

Its also special because so little has been known about the cause of it .. The video presents some great information ,especially as regards the likely cause of the massive extinction being due to a massive Volcanic Lava flow event and the consequent rise in temps of 5degreees .. this however then triggered a release of frozen methane from below the ocean (there was only one ocean when Pangea was the land mass) .
The release in methane saw a further increase in temps due to greenhouse effects and a further 5degree rise in temps .. making a 10degree rise in total .
