Abstract: We study effective divisors on $overline{M}_{0,n}$, focusing on hypertree divisors introduced by Castravet and Tevelev and the proper transforms of divisors on $overline{M}_{1,n-2}$ introduced by Chen and Coskun. Results include a database of hypertree divisor classes and closed formulas for Chen--Coskun divisor classes. We relate these two types of divisors, and from this construct extremal divisors on $overline{M}_{0,n}$ for $ngeq7$ that furnish counterexamples to the conjectural description of the effective cone of $overline{M}_{0,n}$ given by Castravet and Tevelev.
