The mechanism of the Caspian-Mediterranean corridor formation. The Paratethys Sea evolution

Анотація
The transformation of the Paratethys Sea into the Sarmatian Sea-Lake, its subsequent shallowing, and its subdivision into two main water bodies—the Black and Caspian seas—describe one of the mysterious of geologic phenomena. This transformation started about 14 million years ago together with the equally intriguing periodic salinization/desalinization cycles and sea-level changes within these basins. All events require some explanation.
