The 99 pages that link to Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, each with the reason it gives.

• TemnospondyliCompared with: The latest known temnospondyls lived before this event, making their disappearance much earlier than its boundary.

• Extinction selectivityBroader topic: Its losses varied sharply among organisms, including the disappearance of non-avian dinosaurs.

• Geologic timeBroader topic: Its globally recognizable boundary is a key marker between geological periods.

• PalaeognathaeRelated: Palaeognath fossils and molecular estimates place the group's early history around this major boundary.

• PlacentaliaRelated: Placental mammals diversified extensively after this ecological upheaval.

• TylosaurusRelated: Tylosaurus vanished in the mass extinction that ended the Cretaceous.

• AcanthomorphaRelated: Surviving fish lineages diversified in ecosystems transformed by this global extinction.

• ArgentinosaurusRelated: Argentinosaurus lived earlier in the Cretaceous, well before this extinction.

• DeinosuchusRelated: Deinosuchus disappeared before or around the boundary that marks this global ecological upheaval.

• EulipotyphlaRelated: The mammalian radiations following this extinction provide context for early eulipotyphlan diversification.

• Grande CoupureCompared with: Unlike this global mass extinction, the Grande Coupure was a later, regionally focused mammalian turnover.

• Luis Walter AlvarezNarrower topic: Alvarez’s later hypothesis addressed the cause of this extinction.

• MosasaurusRelated: Mosasaurus and other non-avian dinosaurs disappeared in this event.

• NeornithesRelated: The surviving Neornithes lineages diversified after this major extinction.

• New Zealand biogeographyRelated: It marks a major interval in the history of lineages ancestral to New Zealand’s living biota.

• AmmonoideaRelated: All surviving ammonoid lineages disappeared during this extinction.

• History of lifeBroader topic: Its aftermath opened ecological opportunities for surviving mammals and birds.

• MultituberculataRelated: Multituberculates survived this event, raising questions about resilience and later decline.

• PachycephalosaurusNarrower topic: Pachycephalosaurus lived shortly before this event ended the age of non-avian dinosaurs.

• Alvarez hypothesisNarrower topic: The hypothesis explains the cause of this broader extinction event.

• AnkylosaurusRelated: Ankylosaurus disappeared in the extinction that ended the Cretaceous.

• EnantiornithesRelated: Enantiornithes disappeared during this global extinction.

• ArchelonRelated: Archelon disappeared by the end of the period in which this extinction occurred.

• History of EarthBroader topic: The event ended the age of non-avian dinosaurs and reshaped surviving ecosystems.

• KoolasuchusRelated: Koolasuchus lived tens of millions of years before this later extinction event.

• MacroevolutionBroader topic: The extinction reshaped ecosystems and opened opportunities for surviving lineages.

• MesonychiaRelated: The mammal radiations that followed created ecological openings for early mesonychians.

• MetriorhynchidaeCompared with: Metriorhynchids disappeared earlier, so their extinction was not part of this event.

• PantodontaRelated: Pantodonts diversified among mammals in ecosystems reshaped by this extinction.

• PurgatoriusRelated: Purgatorius fossils span the boundary after this extinction, linking it to mammalian recovery.

• AsteriornisRelated: Asteriornis lived shortly before the extinction that reshaped bird evolution.

• ChampsosaurusRelated: Champsosaurus fossils on both sides of the boundary document survival across this extinction.

• ChoristoderaRelated: Choristoderes persisted across this event, but the reasons for their survival are unclear.

• CretoxyrhinaCompared with: Cretoxyrhina disappeared millions of years before this boundary, unlike many famous Cretaceous taxa.

• Evolution of reptilesRelated: Its aftermath ended several reptile radiations while birds and other reptiles survived.

• Extinction eventBroader topic: It is the best-known event, associated with the Chicxulub impact.

• Geological history of EarthBroader topic: Its geological boundary links a global extinction to an asteroid impact.

• James Ross IslandRelated: Nearby island strata help investigate Antarctic environments around this boundary.

• MasiakasaurusRelated: Masiakasaurus lived before the extinction that ended the non-avian dinosaurs.

• ThescelosaurusRelated: Thescelosaurus fossils occur close to the event, but its final survival history remains difficult to establish.

• DidelphodonRelated: Didelphodon lived shortly before this event, which ended its genus and much of its ecosystem.

• HybodontiformesRelated: Hybodontiformes did not survive beyond the end-Cretaceous extinction interval.

• MadtsoiidaeRelated: Madtsoiid fossils across this boundary help establish the family's survival into the Cenozoic.

• RudistsRelated: Rudists disappeared by the end of the Cretaceous during this global extinction.

• TaeniodontaRelated: Taeniodont diversification followed the ecological upheaval that began this new mammalian era.

• TitanoboaRelated: Titanoboa lived after this extinction, in ecosystems reshaped by its aftermath.
