The Permian-Triassic Extinction is considered the largest extinction event in the history of life on planet Earth. This extinction event, which occurred approximately 252 million years ago, led to the extinction of up to 96% of all marine life and 70% of all other life, including insects.
Asteroids have been known to have caused mass extinctions. The obvious one is the Cretaceous--Tertiary extinction eventwhich wiped out the dinosaurs. Others, have also been noted.
