Lake Zaysan 

Lake Zaysan is about 40 million years older and is believed to have formed sometime during the Cretaceous period (145 – 66 million years ago). Lake Zaysan’s old age is widely accepted but determining the lake’s exact age has been difficult – it may be even older than 65 million years.

Lake Zaysan is located in Kazakhstan near several artificial reservoirs and the Bukhtarma dam. The construction of the dam caused Lake Zaysan to rise above its natural level by about 6 m (20 ft). This increased Lake Zaysan’s total area and in some sources the lake is listed as part of the artificial reservoirs.
