(Jeoloji) Permiyen: Permiyen Dönem, Paleozoik zamanın altıncı alt bölümü olarak Permiyen kayaç sistemlerinin oluştuğu jeolojik zaman dilimidir. Günümüzden 292 milyon yıl önce başlayıp 251 milyon yıl önce sona erdiği kabul edilir
Interval of geologic time, 290-248 million years ago. The last of the six periods of the Paleozoic Era, it follows the Carboniferous Period. During the Permian, the continents joined to form a single supercontinent, Pangea. Hot, dry conditions prevailed almost everywhere, and deserts were widespread. Life evolved as a continuation of established lines. Marine invertebrates evolved into several lineages. Marine and freshwater fish and amphibians thrived. Reptiles evolved into three distinct groups: the cotylosaurs, the pelycosaurs, and the therapsids. Land plants evolved from ferns and seed ferns to conifers and adapted to drier and well-drained land conditions. Toward the close of the Permian, many forms of life suffered mass extinction, whose causes are unknown
