Extended periods of marine anoxia — a lack of oxygen in the water — characterized the Late Devonian Mass Extinction. The two most pronounced periods are known as the Kellwasser event, which occurred ...

Scientists discovered that ancient reef-building stromatoporoids survived the Late Devonian extinction, contrary to previous beliefs, and continued to thrive. The findings reveal how these ...
