Paleontologists have identified five major extinction episodes in the fossil record, where over 75% of species went extinct. This has led to the modern biodiversity crisis being called the Sixth Extinction. It is extremely difficult, however, to compare the data used to measure extinctions in the geological past with that used to measure current extinctions. Join us as Dr. Roy Plotnick, author and professor emeritus of paleontology at University of Illinois, explores the hypothetical future fossil record and what it may look like.
