The Dire Straits of Paratethys
Prehistoric Eurasia contained the largest mega-lake on Earth, formed after the isolation of a fragmented region of dying seas known as Paratethys. In this realm, tectonics, sea-level fluctuations, and climate change led to ecological crises: brine seas, extinctions, great drying events and mega-floods.

From Peri-Tethys to Paratethys
From the Alps in western Europe to the great steppes of Kazakhstan, the former Paratethys Sea once covered a vast area of our planet, of which the Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Aral lake are today’s remnants. The Paratethys formed as the Tethys ocean gradually closed, and was known as ‘Peri-Tethys’ until the late Eocene.
