Abstract
In this video, Professor Anusaya Chinsamy-Turan introduces the topic of the End Permian extinction which took place 252 million years ago and was the third and largest mass extinction event. She introduces postdoctoral researcher Michael Day who will discuss the Guadalupian extinction. She then introduces palaeontologist/geologist Roger Smith about the extraordinary mammal-like reptiles from South Africa. Finally, she introduces paleobotanist John Anderson about his research into the plant and insect biodiversity that spans the Permian-Triassic boundary.
