The North Aral Sea (Kazakh: Солтүстік Арал теңізі, Russian: Северное Аральское море) is the portion of the former Aral Sea that is fed by the Syr Darya River. It split from the South Aral Sea in 1987–1988[2] as water levels dropped due to river diversion for agriculture.
In 1925 a large site containing numerous fossils of the Oligocene was discovered near the village of Akespe by the northern shore of the Aral Sea.[3][4]
