Wetman – I reverted your removal of the sentence about the "atlantic". I wouldn't have written that if I didn't see it. I'm not saying they're wonderful sources, I'm just saying that's what they appear to do. – Isogolem09:03, 16 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

In the edit of 'Tethys Sea' here, Wetman added an edit:
"Now oil geologists depend on what was once a mere postulation."
No explanation... I've removed it on merge, but only because if it looked dangly out there all alone with no support and no links. If someone wants to give it proper treatment, that'd be nice. – Isogolem09:03, 16 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
I feel that some discussion is needed regarding why some 70% of world oil is due to the anoxic conditions of the Tethys Seaway in what has now become the Arabian and Persian Gulf area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.0.86.129 (talk) 20:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
It is quite possible you're correct. I think when I was researching, I just didn't see mention of it, so I played it safe. Isogolem15:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
The Mediterrannean is indeed a remnant of the Tethys - see Hsü et al '77 etc.
The Mediterrenean can be divided into a number of tectonic plates and domains. Not all are remnants of Tethys crust, we should be careful. The Black Sea for example is sometimes seen as a remnant, but this is not undisputed. The (oceanic) crust under the western parts of the Mediterrenean (for example) is more recent than the Tethys itself, it developed when Corsica and Sardinia began moving away from Iberia. On the other hand, these pieces of oceanic crust could only grow in the setting of a closing Tethys, so it depends on your definition of a remnant. Woodwalker20:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ah, interesting. So, geographically, we're talking about the same area, But the question of whether the underlying plate is all specifically from the Tethys plate isn't settled? Isogolem05:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

In the last sentence of Terminology and Subdivisions, when they say "Neither of these should be confused with the Rheic Ocean, which existed to the west of them in the Silurian era", are they referring to the Proto-Tethys oceans, or the continents of Baltica, Laurentia and Gondwana?--Mr Fink17:01, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
The current text is indeed rather unclear. These and them refer to the Proto- and Palaeo-Tethys Oceans. The Rheic Ocean was between Baltica and Gondwana and east from Laurentia. Woodwalker10:53, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

About Prof. Suess and plate tectonics:
The theory of plate tectonics later disproved or overrode many parts of Suess's theory, even determining the existence of an earlier body of water called the Tethys Ocean.
At the moment I have no idea which is true. The name Tethys Ocean is often used in a broad sense though, for several ancient interconnected oceanic domains as well as the "Tethys Ocean proper". It would not surprise me if the Caspian Sea is considered by some authors to have been part of the Tethys. What I do know for sure is that it was part of the Paratethys Sea, so I replaced the reference to the Tethys with a reference to the Paratethys in the article about the Caspian Sea. The question remains open, but at least the text of one article is now correct. Woodwalker (talk) 16:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
I found this map misleading and removed it from the article. To my knowledge no one every believed that the Mediterranean alone was the Tethys. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 14:24, 18 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Tethys Ocean. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
