Akchagyl Sea
The Akchagyl Sea (along the Akchagyl tract on the Krasnovodsk Peninsula ) is an ancient sea that existed 3.4-1.8 million years ago ( Pliocene ) in the place of the modern Caspian . The sediments of this sea were studied by N. Andrusov . Originally formed at the place of the dried-up Pontic Sea , from which Balakhani Lake remained in the south of the present Caspian Sea [1] . The Akchagyl Sea, on the contrary, floods the Caspian coasts, goes deep to the north (up to the territory of modern Kazan ) [2] and communicates with the Black Sea through the Kumo-Manychskaya hollow. In the southeast, the sea penetrated far into the Karakum and approached Kopetdag [3] . The Akchagyl Sea was replaced by the Absheron Sea [4] .
