Plot of extinction intensity (percentage of genera that are present in each interval of time but do not exist in the following interval) vs time in the past for marine genera.[1] Geological periods are annotated (by abbreviation and colour) above. The Capitanian extinction event occurred 260–259 million years ago, ~7 million years before the Permian–Triassic extinction event, with just over 35% (according to this source) failing to survive.

The Capitanian mass extinction event (also known as the end-Guadalupian extinction event,[2] the Guadalupian-Lopingian boundary mass extinction,[3] the pre-Lopingian crisis,[4] or the Middle Permian extinction) was a major mass extinction event that occurred towards the end of the Capitanian age and Guadalupian (Middle Permian) epoch of the Permian period. The mass extinction occurred during a period of decreased species richness and increased extinction rates. It is often called the end-Guadalupian extinction event because of its initial recognition between the Guadalupian and Lopingian series; however, more refined stratigraphic study suggests that extinction peaks in many taxonomic groups occurred within the Guadalupian, in the latter half of the Capitanian age.[5] The extinction event has been argued to have begun around 262 million years ago with the Late Guadalupian crisis, though its most intense pulse occurred 259 million years ago in what is known as the Guadalupian-Lopingian boundary event.[6]

Having historically been conflated with the more widely known end-Permian mass extinction event, and only having been recognised as a distinct extinction event beginning in 1994,[7][8] this mass extinction is believed to be the third largest of the Phanerozoic in terms of the percentage of genera (33-35%) and species (60-63%) lost after the end-Permian and Late Ordovician mass extinction, respectively,[7][9] while being the fifth worst in terms of ecological severity.[10] The global nature of the Capitanian mass extinction has been called into question by some palaeontologists as a result of some analyses finding it to have affected only low-latitude taxa in the Northern Hemisphere.[11]
