Join Dan Gish at the orchard to explore the most dramatic chapter in Earth’s history: the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction. Occurring 252 million years ago, "The Great Dying" wiped out nearly 90% of marine species and reshaped life on land.

The Causes: What triggered such massive loss of life?
The Evidence: How do rocks tell this story today?
The Future: Could a similar event happen again?
