The Late Ordovician mass extinction. Sculpture depicts an ocean wave.
Around 445 million years ago, a sudden ice age occured, drawing sheets of ice from the oceans. Then, global temperatures rose and the ice melted, the oceans were flooded with anoxic water, killing 85% of marine species.
The Late Devonian extinction Sculpture depicts an oxygen atom.
372 million years ago, the rapid evolution and population of the first terrestrial plants resulted in the decrees of levels of oxygen in seas, killing 80% of all animal species on earth.
The Permian–Triassic extinction Sculpture depicts a volcano.
Also known as The Great Dying, massive, sustained volcanic eruptions in the Siberian Traps caused a catastrophic chain reaction of environmental crises that wiped out over 95% of marine species and 70% of land species.
The Triassic–Jurassic extinction Sculpture depicts magma chambers.
As the supercontinent Pangea began to break apart 200 million years ago, immense floods of basaltic lava rose to the surface. This sustained, massive volcanic activity resulted in the extinction of 80% of all Earth's species.
The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction Sculpture depicts an asteroid.
66 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck modern-day Mexico, sending a massive cloud of ash and sulfates into the stratosphere, causing a global blackout that wiped out 75% of all Earth's species.
The Hweizdacene extinction Sculpture depicts Lawley.
A toxic short RNAngel disguised as a human and placed amongst society, ready to be activated at Aleph's will.
