Don't the oceans just keep getting saltier and saltier? Except for where it precipitates out, salt flats all over the world where the ocean used to be. The mummies I was reading about are preserved in salt flats in Urumchi, a valley in the Himalayas, north of India, east of Pakistan, west of China, near the Russian border. Not Russia anymore, Carjackistan or something.

<<Where does the salt go? heh heh ~ not the salt of the earth, the salt of the oceans. >>

It's mined by OXY CDN in Mexico.

Now if you're asking why some parts of the oceans were less saline during the last warming I have a different answer. The salt was still there but with more fresh water entering in certain areas the salinity was diluted.
