New paper Ediacaran endlings from the Avalon Assemblage and the severity of the Kotlin Crisis: First documentation of the Inner Meadow Lagerstätte, Newfoundland, Canada (published on January 29th), and the accompanying feature in Science, Earth’s first major extinction was worse than we thought from March 13th, both with good information to be added to the article. According to the new study, the Kotlin crisis rivals some of the major mass extinctions in severity, killing about 80% of all species (for comparison, the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event is estimated to have killed 75%).
