  • When Red Sea was formed?

    From Mario Petrinovic@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 21 09:21:20 2021
    Per this link, it was formed around 30 mya (around the time of Eocene
    - Oligocene boundary). But, why, then, they (in some other research) are claiming that it was formed only 13 mya? https://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-climate-driven-mass-extinction-no.html

    It is and has been complex tectonically, it didn't form only once due to asteroid impact, but that may have caused greater tearing apart. Arabia has been in a jitterbug dance bouncing against Africa, Eurasia, India since Pangea split off gondwana etc.

    Yes.
    13 mya date is out of any proportions, way too late. And yet, they
    researched specifically the formation of Red Sea, this is very fresh
    research, and they insist on 13 mya. Hm, something is very fishy about this.
    Well, I will not waste my time on this idiotic paper. On one place
    they even mention the date of >20 mya. I mean, what a mess. This is
    fresh research, only 6 months old: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-22586-2

    Actually, no, they didn't say the Red Sea is 13 my old. They are looking
    at a phase or part of
    its spread. Under "Results and discussion" it says

    "Long-lived axial segmentation and discontinuities produce along-axis variations in crustal
    structure whose trails, on other ridges, can be traced up to 1000 km and
    over 30 Ma (million
    years ago) off-axis."

    which fits in with other references to its age
