Carnian Pluvial Episode might be a new one to add to the big five, or six if you count the current one playing out in our brutish and short human timeline.

Probably not one of the "big 5" (or 6_). More of a "dwarf" mass extinction, like the end-Edicarian (541 Mya), Capitanian (260 Mya), or Paleocene-Eocene (55 Mya). Since the marine fossil record is so much more complete, that's generally used to plot extinction intensity, and there no real signal of the Carnian-Pluvial above the noise in that data set.

Still, the first 17 My of the Triassic were possibly the worst extended period for life since the Snowball earths of Cryogenian. First the two great extinction pulses of the Great Dying (end-Permian), then another 9 My where life is scarce and gains little traction, and in another 8 million years, the Carnian Pluvial.

Thread!

Did you know: dinosaurs had precisely six different reactions* to their mass extinction 66 million years ago! Let's take a look at them...

return of the hornéd trenchasaur

also: lesser beasts be stealin from ilxor classics (this is actually how the world ends ppl)

@pulplibrarian is ok but come on man

some of the captions would get an fp

hah I consider myself told then

I hope mark s is going to enter this contest.

"Let's play the last track from The Doors debut."

This next one's for all the titanosaurs in the audience.

"As soon as Stipeasaurus gets here we can run through this one."

Haha I read the thread title and my first thought was “Does KM have anything to contribute to this topic?”

or imagine being murderer (aka predator animal trying to survive) and it's the end of the world right after you kill the other dino friend. you'd be like "is god punishing the world for what i did? how important am i?"

…And there it is.

I was just reading history of the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 in relation to the rise of atheism. The thought processes were very similar, but with a lot more god blaming.

hahaha!

yeah, i mean in many ways the world makes a lot more sense if you think of it as god punishing people for one thing or another. especially if you think that god is flawed and constantly makes mistakes!

You know you're ripping off The Far Side when even your dinosaurs wear cat-eye glasses.

lol

Earth was forever changed after an enormous asteroid smashed into our planet at the end of the Cretaceous period. Scientists have pinpointed the season of the disaster and linked it to springtime in the Northern Hemisphere. https://t.co/v7u5w5u1ro

very poor quality picture imo, scientific american do better

(the article is mildly interesting, adding heft to the question i asked sanpaku upthread that was never answered)

i love the quality of the image, excellent

that one is less gazing haplessly and more having a kickass acid trip tbh

it's true, the dinosaur has separated from its ego and is just accepting what is happening as something unique and unrepeatable

Unfortunate how most of these pictures neglect to include the full white and red moons.
