Rocks formed during the megalake crisis seen as one of the few remains of the Earth’s largest lake. Credit: Utrecht University The Guinness Book of World Records has officially recognized the Paratethys as the largest lake in Earth’s history. This immense lake, also known as Lake Paratethys, held a staggering ten times more water than all of today’s lakes combined. Vladimir Laskarev first used the term “Paratethys” in 1924. Initially, his definition covered fossils and sedimentary strata from the Neogene system of the sea. Later on, this definition was expanded to include the Oligocene series as well.

Broke On: Tuesday, 28 November 2023The Deccan Traps, a large volcanic region in West India, had been erupting for roughly 300,000 years before the Chicxulub asteroid, releasing significant amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur into the atmosphere. New research suggests that the outpouring of climate-altering gases from the Deccan Traps alone could have been sufficient to trigger the global extinction of dinosaurs.
