Paleogeography of Lake Turkana

Lake Turkana in Kenya has only been around for the past 200,000 years, but the expanding and receding shores of the lake have provided food and water to organisms for millions of years. Today, scientists study the stratigraphy of the Turkana Basin to better understand the age of fossils discovered there.
