The largest mass-extinction in the world is considered to have happened about 252 million years ago due to quick global warming or climate change.

Jörg Fröbisch and Kenneth Angielczyk from The Field Museum along with Christian Sidor from the University of Washington have recently identified the fossil remains of such a species in Antarctica.
