Permian Olivia Gallt, Ainsley Ludema, and Devin Foote

  • 299 to 251 million years ago, last period of the Paleozoic Era
  • Took up almost 1.06% of geologic time
  • "Age of Amphibians"

Period- Permian, Era- Paleozoic, Eon- Phanerozioc, Epochs of the period- Iopingiah, Guadalupain, and Cisuralian

  • All the world's land masses joined together into a single supercontinent, Pangea
  • Largest landmass since Rodina
  • Formed 270 mya
  • Dominant plants and animals
  • Trilobites
  • Dragonflies
  • Primitive cockroach
  • First seed-bearing plants, include conifers and gingko
  • Synapsids, eventually led to mammals.
  • Sauropsids, ancestors of the reptiles, including dinosaurs and birds.
  • Ended with largest mass extinction in history of life on earth
  • Called the Great Dying or the Permian-Triassic Extinction (251 mya)
  • 50% of all animal families
  • 95% of all marine species
  1. Volcanic activity
  2. Comets and meteors
  3. Alteration of carbon cycle
  4. Explosion of methane
  • Organisms that survived
  • Beetles
  • Small Sharks
  • Several Groups of reptiles
  • Early permian was in an ice age
  • As permian went on, climate grew warmer
  • The new climate changed a lot between tropical, arid, and dry

Plants with seeds developed, replacing the swamp plants, Time of coral reef building
