Around 95% Of All Living Species Died Outa Global Catastrophe Far Greater Than The Dinosaurs' Demise 65 Million Years Ago. How This Happened Remains A Mystery. But There Are Many Competing Theories. Some Blame Huge Volcanic Eruptions That Covered An Area As Large As The Continental United States; Others Argue For Sudden Changes In Ocean Levels And Chemistry, Including Burps Of Methane Gas; And Still Others Cite The Impact Of An Extraterrestrial Object, Similar To What Caused The Dinosaurs' Extinction.Extinction Is A Paleontological Mystery Story.
