Panthalassa
Panthalassa The name given to the vast oceanic area that surrounded Pangaea when that supercontinent was in existence. Tethys was a minor arm of this ocean. Once Pangaea began to split in the Triassic, the names of all the modern oceans are normally applied to the developing ocean basins even though they were, at that time, still very small.
