Yes, that's what we always see, because megafauna are highly obvious in the fossil record. Tiny or especially soft-bodied invertebrates maybe not so much, and I'd hesitate to assume past mass extinctions provide too precise a model for one taking place in the present day. After all, there's nothing in the fossil record to suggest what a mass extinction might look like like in an environment containing modern humanity, too.
