The Tethys ocean turned into the Mediterranean, Black, Caspian, and Aral (rip) seas.

What is this map? More pointless speculation from paleontologists?

That's the Western Interior Seaway retard, we're talking about the Tethys.

neither OP or the anon you replied to is talking about the Tethys Sea, you idiot.
The western interior seaway isn't the Tethys.

I like to think you're OP and you posted the wrong picture and then tried to samefag your post and look smart. But because you accidentally posted the wrong map you ended up looking stupid instead.
Either way I think you need glasses. This is the third time in less than a day that someone has failed very badly at reading. Either a lot of anons here need glasses, or one anon here needs glasses and posts A LOT.
