thank you to:NASA/GSFC/METI/ERSDAC/AROS, and U.S./Japan ASTER Science Team for image: Caspian Sea

and to: for Goth Series 2

About 250 million years ago, during the late Permian Era, a new ocean began forming in the southern end of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean. A rift formed along the northern continental shelf of Southern Pangaea (Gondwana). Over the next 60 million years, that piece of shelf, known as Cimmeria, traveled north, pushing the floor of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean under the eastern end of Northern Pangaea (Laurasia). The Tethys Ocean formed between Cimmeria and Gond
wana, directly over where the Paleo-Tethys used to be.
