Permian The final period of the Palaeozoic Era, about 299–251 Ma ago. It is named after the central Russian province of Perm. The period is often noted for the widespread continental conditions that prevailed in the northern hemisphere and for the extensive nature of the southern hemisphere glaciation. Many groups of animals and plants vanished at the end of the Permian in one of the most extensive of all mass extinctions, including the Rugosa, Trilobitomorpha, and Blastoidea.
