Over 95% of marine species disappeared and, up until now, scientists have linked this extinction to a significant rise in Earth temperatures.

But researchers have now discovered that this extinction took place during a short ice age which preceded the global climate warming. 

It’s the first time that the various stages of a mass extinction have been accurately understood and that scientists have been able to assess the major role played by volcanic explosions in these climate processes..."
