The Withered Death

About
The Withered Death was a mass extinction event that happened around 200 million years ago. The event lasted for 2 million years and wiped out thousand of species and affected many environments and climates.

The first phase
After multiple large-size meteor crash site were found by IRLO scientist on an island near an arctic landmass. They believed: Multiple large meteors crashed into the planet and caused multiple tsunamis and earthquakes. The meteors high temperature made massive areas of land nearly uninhabitable.

The second phase
Due to temperature rise, ice had started to melt and caused the sea level to start rising. Many fossil of terrestrial lifeforms can be found laying under the sea, and likely ended up there due to drowning by the rising sea level or tsunamis. The wide spread climate change also caused multiple Island-sized icebergs to break off from their floes and start freely floating around the main island. slowly they had started to travel out into the open ocean on sea currents which caused many northern species to begin propagating around in warmer areas of the planet.
