Mass Extinction Research Project This is an individual assignment that will be an assessment grade. It is due Friday by the end of class. Top Five Extinctions: * Ordovician-Silurian Extinction * Devonian Extinction * Permian-Triassic Extinction * Triassic-Jurassic Extinction * Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction Objectives: You will research one of the Top 5 Extinctions. No two people at a lab table can research the same extinction (discuss which one you are going to be researching before you begin- write it on your rubric).
