Could you make a video summarizing the five big mass extinction events? It would be great not only to gain perspective over the whole topic, but also to get a comparison about the causes, impact and aftermath of these events.

sponges, coral, and plants of prehistoric times have to be one of the most under looked parts of the worlds before use. sure, there not as entertaining as moving organisms but they do make up a major part of their environments and are important for us to understand what the past of our planet looked like.

@@ppsaha1994 That is also true, but it's not like exclusively predation kills tardigrades, and many other microscopic organisms are just as resilient, or more. For example, tardigrades do their drying out trick to survive unfavorable conditions, but other microbes just keep on living normally in those conditions, and the ones that don't have other strategies like forming spores.

I'm gonna say "true" for the triva. I know that the length between the beginning and end of the Mesozoic is longer than between the end of the Mesozoic and now. And I think that the three parts were fairly long each. EDIT: Well, shoot. I guess I guess I was wrong.
I'm reminded of the quote from Ralph Wiggum on the Simpsons: "I beat the smart kids! I beat the smart kids!"

Do fungi play a similar role in mass extinctions? Given their role as decomposer and the environmental impact they have on ecosystems in refreshing nutrients and terraforming the soil
