The scientific and educational car expedition to the West Kazakhstan “Mangyshlak secrets” took place from April 11 to May 9, 2016. The participants of the expedition travelled more than 6500 km across Russia and Kazakhstan, made close acquaintance with nature of several geographic zones, saw ancient historical sites of different times and nations, and made interesting paleontological discoveries (teeth of fossil sharks, remains of sea hedgehogs, sea shells and other residuals of ancient Tethys ocean dwellers). During the expeditions we collected scientific monitoring data.
