I doubt whether we'll ever get a hard number on what percentage of species went extinct. But that is not the point. The point is that the overwhelming majority of species went extinct at one time or another in a couple billion years of evolution. Whether that was 97.4% or 99.8% is totally irrelevant. The point is that in evolution extinction is the rule, while survival is the exception.
