photo - Cape Kaliakra, Bulgaria, Black Sea shoreline - rocks formed during the megalake crises have become cliffs overlooking the Black Sea, one of the few remains of the ancient megalake.

map - Paleogeographic reconstruction of late Miocene Paratethys fluctuations. During regressive phases, the megalake lost most of its surface. The remaining water was split between a central salt-lake in the Black Sea basin (marked in red) and peripheral basins that periodically refilled and became fresher (light blue)
