Between the Jurassic and the Late Cretaceous (which started about 100 Ma), Gondwana began breaking up, pushing Africa and India north, across the Tethys and opening up the Indian ocean. As these land masses pushed in on it from all sides, up until as recently as the Late Miocene (15 Ma), the Tethys ocean continued to shrink, becoming the Tethys Seaway or (second) Tethys Sea.
