Many different organisms went extinct at the end of the Permian. Some of them include trilobites, conodonts, sea scorpions, and blastoids. Many other groups were nearly wiped out, with only a few species surviving. Brachiopods were decimated by the extinction event and never fully recovered as clams became more dominant.

When geologist refer to the Big Five they are referring to the five mass extinctions on Earth. Some of these extinctions are the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
which of these animals is extinct +++ Quite! "Which of these..." gives us no list from which to pick the right answers. One of the most famous modern extinctions was of the Dodo, a flightless bird killed by hunters in the 19C. Apart from man-made extinctions there have been several massive extinctions throughout geological time, including that which wiped out the dinosaurs some 65Ma (just recently suggested as the culmination of a major series of species deaths over the preceding 50M years). Another, in the Permian Period some 200MA (number of years from memory) was even greater, killing over 90% of life on Earth.
During the Permian period, the Earth's climate was overall warm and arid, with large areas of deserts and vast inland seas. The climate fluctuated over the course of the period, experiencing some periods of cooling as well. Overall, the climate during the Permian period was influenced by the arrangement of the continents and ocean currents at that time.
During the Permian period, Earth experienced the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea, extensive glaciation in the southern hemisphere, and the diversification of reptiles. The Permian-Triassic extinction event, the largest mass extinction in Earth's history, occurred at the end of the period, resulting in the loss of around 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial species.
Some of the animals that lived during the Permian Period include synapsids like Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus, amphibians, reptiles, and early mammals. The Permian Period was a time of great diversity and saw the rise of reptiles as dominant land animals.
Tylacine(or Tasmanian wolf), moa, steller's sea cow, and the Guam flying fox are some extict animals.
The largest mass extinction in history, known as the Permian-Triassic extinction event, occurred approximately 252 million years ago during the end of the Permian period. It wiped out approximately 90% of all marine animal species and is often referred to as the "Great Dying."

Many scientists believe that something other than asteroids have caused most catastrophic extinctions because some events, like the Permian extinction, show multiple stressors occurred simultaneously. The Deccan Traps volcanic eruptions coincide with the extinction of dinosaurs, suggesting a connection. Additionally, gradual environmental changes and feedback loops could have contributed to mass extinctions more than singular events like asteroid impacts.
When geologist refer to the Big Five they are referring to the five mass extinctions on Earth. Some of these extinctions are the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
Some notable extinctions believed to have been caused by meteors include the Permian-Triassic extinction event around 252 million years ago, which wiped out over 90% of marine species, and the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event around 66 million years ago, which led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. These extinctions were likely triggered by large meteor impacts causing sudden and catastrophic environmental changes.
