Talk:Triassic–Jurassic extinction

Nominating for Featured Article status

I believe the article as it stands is well-written, well-researched, comprehensive, neutral, stable, and compliant with copyright policy, that it has a concise lead, appropriate structure, and consistent citations, and that it is adequately enriched with images. Additionally, it mirrors the quality of the similar article on the Cretaceous-Palaeogene extinction event when it was originally nominated and approved for Featured Article status. Thus, I am hereby nominating it for the Featured Article list. --Anteosaurus magnificus (talk) 23:02, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

the decrease in diversity was caused more by a decrease in speciation than by an increase in extinctions

This makes zero logical sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.11.238.246 (talk) 10:56, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Adamanian/Revueltian nomenclature

I am surprised not to see Adamanian/Revueltian mentioned more prominently. This seems to be quite present in the scientific literature for this event as an alternate or even preferred name.

Could you add some info on this study to the article?

A press release on it has this:

A team of University of Rhode Island scientists and statisticians conducted a sophisticated quantitative analysis of a mass extinction that occurred 215 million years ago and found that the cause of the extinction was not an asteroid or climate change, as had previously been believed. Instead, the scientists concluded that the extinction did not occur suddenly or simultaneously, suggesting that the disappearance of a wide variety of species was not linked to any single catastrophic event.

What do you think about it? In any case some short info about it should probably be added.

Please also add it to 2020 in science#January if possible and appropriate.

Thank you.

Is this sentence in the wrong article?

On land, all archosauromorphs other than crocodylomorphs, pterosaurs, and non-avian dinosaurs became extinct.

Didn't this happen in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event? Koro Neil (talk) 01:00, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Triassic–Jurassic extinction event → Triassic–Jurassic extinction – The reason the page should be moved is that Triassic-Jurassic extinction is a more WP:CONCISE name. GothicGolem29 (Talk) 20:18, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

Support per nom. "Event" is vague anyways. Joe vom Titan (talk) 21:17, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
