IN the mesozoic era the world was a giant pangea and I need to know what the ocean sorrounding the pangea was called.

In configuration, Pangaea is believed to have been a C-shaped landmass that spread across the equator. The body of water that was believed to have been enclosed within the resulting crescent has been named the Tethys Sea. The vast ocean that once surrounded the supercontinent of Pangaea has been named Panthalassa.

Mirovia (from Russian mirovoi, "global") was a global ocean that encompassed the supercontinent Rodinia in the Neoproterozoic era, about 1 billion to 750 million years ago.

Pan-sea? No, seriously, I should know this, but right now my brain is hurting from being on Y.A. all day!
