Discover Magazine turned to a University of Cincinnati geologist to learn more about what caused a mass extinction about 360 million years ago. The Devonian extinction wiped out as many as 80% of ...

New uranium-lead dating of zircons from Oklahoma’s buried Ames impact structure points to a Late Devonian age near 370 ...

Diverse and full of sea life, the Earth's Devonian era—taking place more than 370 million years ago—saw the emergence of the first seed-bearing plants, which spread as large forests across the ...

Research indicates that the Ames impact structure may have formed during the Late Devonian period. This finding challenges earlier beliefs connecting the structure to the Ordovician Meteor Event.

The Late Devonian mass extinction (roughly 372 million years ago) was one of five mass extinctions in Earth's history, with roughly 75% of all species disappearing over its course. It happened in two ...

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 organisms ...

Red-colored sediments, generated when North America collided with Europe, give the Devonian its name, as these distinguishing ...

A recently published study puts forth a new theory that volcanic eruptions combined with widespread ocean detoxification pushed Earth's biology to a tipping point in the Late Devonian era, triggering ...
