How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T16171370 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Frasnian–Famennian boundary
The Frasnian–Famennian boundary marks a major Late Devonian mass extinction interval characterized by severe global environmental upheavals and widespread marine biodiversity loss.
-
B.
Emsian–Eifelian boundary
The Emsian–Eifelian boundary marks the internationally recognized transition between the Early and Middle Devonian periods in the geologic timescale.
-
C.
Givetian–Frasnian boundary
The Givetian–Frasnian boundary marks the internationally recognized stratigraphic transition between the Middle and Late Devonian periods, defined by specific fossil and sedimentary changes in the geologic record.
-
D.
Permian Period
The Permian Period was the final period of the Paleozoic Era, marked by the diversification of reptiles and the largest mass extinction in Earth's history at its close.
-
E.
Carboniferous period
The Carboniferous period was a Paleozoic era interval, roughly 359 to 299 million years ago, characterized by extensive swampy forests that formed vast coal deposits and by the diversification of early amphibians and insects.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
