- dwighttk 4y agomap has largest and smallest extent lines and the Aral Sea is outside the largest extent line
- simonh 4y agoFair enough, so I suppose at some point the Aral basin sank below the waterline and filled from the Paratethys or what remained of it. Those waterline marks must still only pertain to a particular period of time.
