The Permian Period began 298.9 million years ago and ended 252.2 million years ago, extending from the close of the Carboniferous Period to the outset of the Triassic Period.
The concept of the Permian was introduced in 1841 by geologist Sir Roderick Impey Murchison, who named it after the region.Murchison (1792-1871), was a Scottish geologist, who served as director-general of the British Geological Survey from 1855 until his death in 1871. He is noted for investigating and describing the Silurian, Devonian and Permian systems.
Based on explorations in Perm Krai undertaken with Edouard de Verneuil, Murchison gave to the last period of the Paleozoic Era the name of Permian. [R4]![]() |
