well obviously they just had to click their talons and a stressed looking edmontosaurus or some other from the precariat/lunch class of dinos would dutifully scamper to the local shitpit to wipe their arse for them with some 2 ply leaves!

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.
― calzino, Wednesday, 23 September 2020 07:49 (three years ago) link
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.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Extinction_intensity.svg/1200px-Extinction_intensity.svg.png
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.
