Describe the 5 mass extinction events in our earth history in terms of:

Fossils that are abundant in earlier rock layers are simply not present in later rock layers. A wide range of animals and plants suddenly died out, from tiny marine organisms to large dinosaurs. The top five extinctions include: (1) Ordovician-silurian Extinction: 440 million years ago (small marine organisms died out); (2) Devonian Extinction: 365 million years ago (many tropical marine species went extinct); (3) Permian-triassic Extinction: 250 million years ago (the largest mass extinct even in Earth`s history affected a range of species, including many vertebrates); (4) Triassic-jurassic Extinction: 210 million years ago (the extinction of other vertebrate species on land allowed dinosaurs to flourish; (5) Creteceous-tertiary Extinction: 65 million years ago (major extinction that wiped out nonavian dinosaurs as the K-T extinction).
