today, the only remnants of the paratethys are the black sea, caspian sea, and aral sea; in the middle miocene, the paratethys was transformed into a megalake covering an astonishing 2.8 million square kilometres

One of my more obscure hobbies is pronouncing words that aren't Bantu as if they are Bantu. Today: Megalake Makgadikgadi (mɪ-χalake ma-kxadikxadi) is obviously a Tswana class 4 word

Looking @ topography of North Africa's megalakes (postulated to have existed, details in ALT txt), it is not hard to imagine how Crocodylus succus (desert croc), Egyptians' sacred croc spread across NA: fossil records attest same species in Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Niger, Mali, Tchad...

Late Quaternary inundation and desiccation of Megalake Chad traced in dust records from the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean
Modern Lake Chad has shrunk in area by around 90 % since the 1960s under the twin pressures of climate change and increasing water demand. During the …

yeah i feel similar with somewhere with a lot of sea/megalake
most frequently the largest lake im near is ozarks and its just a real fuckin big recreational lake

going to try to do just a normal thread. the sahara amazon thing struck me because somewhere i remember seeing the desertification of the sahara fertilized the amazon. That was 14kya (or during glaciation retreat), eventually seeing the demise of 'megalake chad' (rip)

Our May Speaker, Walter Alvarez, gave a lucid personal picture of his wild surmise that a Pliocene inland sea once occupied the middle of the Sahara. He published a drier version <2 years ago in this open-access paper.
An enormous Pliocene or Quaternary Megalake Sudd on the River Nile in the Sudan Basin? A review of the dilemma, and a possible solution
It was first suggested in 1864 that a very large post-Miocene lake once occupied the Sudan Basin, centered on the Sudd — a nearly impenetrable papyrus…

I'd like to learn more about megalake Parathethys so could one of you all get to writing a book please? I'll even preorder it and talk it up to others. Thanks.

"During the early to mid Holocene, the Chad basin featured a megalake with an area approximately 100 times larger than its modern remnant...Our results show that marine sedimentary archives can preserve uninterrupted proxy records of climate-driven hydrological change on the continents..."

I went on a REALLY deep dive about diatoms in the dried up ancient Megalake Chad lakebed the other day, learned a lot of cool stuff about this foundational layer of biomass that makes the entire living planet possible, and how climate change imperils it
