Fossils help identify marine life that may be at high risk of extinction today
Description: A detailed study of marine animals that died out over the past 23 million years can help identify which animals and ocean ecosystems may be most at risk of extinction today, according to an international team of paleontologists and ecologists. Their research paper reports that worldwide patterns of extinction remained remarkably similar over this period, with the same groups of animals showing similar rates of extinction.
