No. I'm stating the fact that when inland seas evaporate, the water condensates into rain which only increases the rate of sodium being redeposited back into the oceans. The average rate is ~457 tons annually, if evaporation from inland seas increases the precipitation rate, then it would also increase the redeposition rate. Meaning, the oceans will still increase at an average rate regardless.
Leaving aside the bit where you attempt to produce a quantitative argument without actually calculating any of the relevant quantities, could I draw your attention to the fact that the marine evaporites don't correspond to a higher rate of evaporation but a lower rate of mixing?
The same amount of water would evaporate from the same amount of ocean whether it was or wasn't almost cut off from the main body of the ocean. But the precipitation of halite occurs only if it is.
Diatoms and other marine macrofossils don't just evaporate with the water; they should leave marine signatures verifying them as ancient oceans.
Unless, of course, and you may treat this as the purest conjecture, marine organisms can't tolerate high levels of salinity. I guess that would make the seas in question
dead seas. Hmm ... that phrase rings a bell somehow ... and I'm sure it has something to do with salt ...
Perhaps you could jog my memory.
Many salt deposits are simply that and have never been dissolved into the ocean to start with.
Perhaps you could provide a hypothesis as to how they
did get there ... or is your claim just based on wishful thinking?
