	Tethys Sea - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Tethys Sea is a shallow inland body of water that existed between Laurasia and Gondwana, the geological ancestor of the modern Mediterranean, Black, Caspian and Aral Seas.
		The theory that the Tethys Sea existed was first proposed in 1893 by Eduard Suess, who used fossil records from the Alps and Africa.
		As that part of the Tethys Ocean disappeared under Cimmeria, the relatively shallow area in the western end of the Tethys Ocean opened onto the growing Atlantic Ocean, forming the Tethys Sea (or 'Tethys Seaway').

	Tethys Ocean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tethys Ocean was an ocean that existed between the continents of Gondwana and Laurasia before the opening of the Atlantic Ocean.
		As these land masses pushed in on it from all sides, up until as recently as the Late Miocene (15 Ma), the Tethys ocean contiued to shrink, becoming the Tethys Seaway or Tethys Sea.
		Paleontologists find the Tethys Ocean particularly important because much of the world's sea shelves were found around its margins for such an extensive period of time; Marine, marsh-dwelling, and estuarian fossils from these shelves are of considerable interest to them.

	Geology of the Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Alps arose as a result of the pressure exerted on sediments of the Tethys Ocean basin as its Mesozoic and early Cenozoic strata were pushed against the stable Eurasian landmass by the northward-moving African landmass.
		As the Tethys Ocean basin continued to widen and deepen, the elements of weathering were always at work on the surrounding landmasses.
		In the final stage of the Tethys Sea's disappearance (its remainder would become the Atlantic Ocean), the large mass of material that was originally far to the south was pressed onto and over the deep ocean layers.

		The Mediterranean Sea is an intercontinental sea positioned between Europe to the north, Africa to the south and Asia to the east, covering an approximate area of 2.5 million km².
		The Mediterranean Sea is connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the Strait of Gibraltar on the west and to the Sea of Marmara and Black Sea, by the Dardanelles and the Bosporus respectively, on the east.
		The Sea was reduced to a couple of lakes with varying salinity and probably even dried up, leaving for quite some time a desolate salt basin.

	Palaeos Earth: Geography: The Tethys Sea
		The Tethys was named in 1893 by the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess after the Titan Tethys, the daughter of Uranus and Gaia, and the sister and consort of Oceanus, the ancient Greek god of the ocean.
		As the sea floor spread, it created a basin bordered on the south and west by the Gondwanan continental plates of the Pangean landmass (the bottom half of the 'C') and on the north and east by
		The Tethys Sea also expanded westward, splitting Pangaea into the supercontinents of Gondwana (in the South) and Laurasia (in the North).

		The Caspian Sea is bordered by Russia (Dagestan, Kalmykia, Astrakhan Oblast), Republic of Azerbaijan, Iran/Persia (Guilan, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces), Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan, with the central Asian steppes to the north and east.
		The sea is connected to the Sea of Azov by the Manych Canal.

	Section C - Where did it all begin?
		The Tethys sea was gradually closed during the Miocene (5-25 mya) by the movement of the southern continents northward, due to continental drift.
		As the Tethys Sea closed, corals started to spread eastward into the Western Pacific, to meet the Australian continent which was moving northwards away from the icy polar regions in the south and towards the warmer tropical waters.
		Accompanying sea level change there are also important changes in oceanic currents (affecting dispersal of invertebrate larvae) and sedimentation patterns (corals can't grow in regions of high sedimentation) which affect the distribution of coral reefs.

		In the eastern Mediterranean-Black Sea area, the limits of the Proto-Tethys Ocean during the latest Carboniferous, and consequently the outlines of the Hercynian fold belt as shown in the Permo-Carboniferous reconstruction given by Plate 6, are conceptual.
		This was accompanied by the gradual concentration of crustal shortening to the Western Alps, the Apenninen-Calabrian Arc, the southern Carpathian, and the Hellenic-Taurid Arc.
		This is exemplified by the Mid-Jurassic doming of the Central North Sea Graben area and the early Miocene upwarping of the Rhenish Shield.

	Tethys
		In Greek mythology Tethys was a Titaness and sea goddess who was both sister and wife of Oceanus.
		Tethys' low density indicates that it is almost completely composed of water ice, similar to Dione and Rhea.
		The crater is now quite flat (or more precisely, it conforms to Tethys' spherical shape), like the craters on Callisto, without the high ring mountains and central peaks commonly seen on the Moon and Mercury.

	Black Sea,Turkey-Adiyamanli.org
		The Black Sea is connected to the distant waters of the Atlantic Ocean by the succession of the Bosporus (a strait at the Black Sea's southwestern corner), the Sea of Marmara, the Dardanelles, the Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea.
		The Black Sea is a residual basin of the ancient Tethys Sea; its present form probably emerged about 58 million years ago when structural upheavals in Anatolia split off the Caspian basin from the Mediterranean.
		The newly formed Black Sea basin gradually became isolated from the ocean, its salinity was reduced, and it was slowly separated from the Caspian region.

		TETHYS was the TITANIS earth-goddess of the subterranean sources of fresh water, as well as the patron goddess of the nursing of the young.
		Tethys was probably identical to the fish-tailed Titanis Eurynome, one-time Queen of Heaven, who was cast by Kronos into the Ocean-stream along with her husband Ophion.
		Tethys was later identified with Thalassa, the female personification of the sea.

		The Mediterranean Sea is all that is left of the Tethys Sea now, but about 100 to 200 million years ago it connected the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic.
		Animals could have migrated along ocean ridges from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean, and on through the Tethys Sea to the North Atlantic.
		That means they can travel along ridges on the sea floor between vents, but if there is a break in a ridge, the amphipods cannot swim to the next ridge.

		The Tethys Sea is a shallow inland body of water postulated to have once existed between Laurasia and Gondwana, the geological ancestor of the modern Mediterranean, Black, Caspian and Aral Seas.
		According to current theory, the sea that Suess originally imagined did indeed exist late in the Miocene period (20 Ma), but had existed in various forms long before that.
		Over the next 120 million years, the Tethys Sea shrank further, closed in an all sides by Africa, Saudi Arabia and Europe, eventually becoming the Mediterranean, Black, Caspian and Aral Seas.

		The Sarmatic Sea was separated from the ocean, and gradually its salinity fell as a result of the inflow from rivers.
		From that period onwards the Caspian Sea, on one hand, and the Black sea and Azov Sea, on another, went their separate ways, although temporary links between them were formed from time to time.
		A gradual salinisation of the Black Sea followed and it is believed that within 1,000-1,500 years the salinity of the sea became sufficient to support a large number of Mediterranean species.
