Extinction Events Deep History — Part Two
Thomas Halliday, author of Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth’s Extinct Worlds, journeys further back into geological history, examining Jurassic glass sponge reefs, Carboniferous coal swamps, and the mysterious Tully Monster. He highlights early plant-fungal mycorrhizal symbiosis, deep-sea hydrothermal vent communities, mass extinction triggers such as global climate shifts, and the Cambrian explosion of complex marine animal body plans.
