The Mediterranean Sea ReferencesText was prepared from descriptions of paleogeographic maps produced and published by Ron Blakely, Northern Arizona University.Cartoon maps were drawn from Ron Blakelys set of paleogeographic reconstruction maps of the Mediterranean Basin, Early Jurassic Period through the Late Miocene Epoch.Relief map of the Aegean Sea was published by Wikipedia Commons on the internet. The map is used in accordance with posted terms and conditions.Slide 35
