Messinian event in the black sea: Evidence of a Messinian erosional surface [PDF]

Marine Geology, 2007
In 1975, sediment cores from leg DSDP 42b (sites 380A and 381) revealed a thin sediment layer in the Black Sea basin which points to a shallow water environment at the Miocene-Pliocene boundary. With these facts and in the wake of hypothesis of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), it was proposed that the Black Sea, like the Mediterranean Sea, suffered

Chapter A8 The messinian historical stratotype and the tortonian/messinian boundary [PDF]

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1995
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the Messinian historical stratotype and the Tortonian/Messinian boundary. The Messinian sediments in the Pasquasia-Capodarso section have a thickness of about 180 m. In 1960, the section was well exposed, continuously so from the Tortonian (outcropping for about 130 m) to the lower Pliocene (outcropping for ...

High-frequency cyclicity in the Mediterranean Messinian evaporites: evidence for solar-lunar climate forcing [PDF]

, 2012
The deposition of varved sedimentary sequences is usually controlled by climate conditions. The study of two Late Miocene evaporite successions (one halite and the other gypsum) consisting of annual varves has been carried out to reconstruct the ...

Detection of nanoseismic events related to slope instabilities in the quarry district of Coreno Ausonio (Italy) [PDF]

, 2016
Le cave per l’estrazione di materiale roccioso rappresentano contesti in cui possono aver luogo eventi di instabilità gravitativa causati dalle continue sollecitazioni cui sono soggette le pareti produttive, principalmente connesse alle vibrazioni dovute

The Mediterranean deep-sea fauna: historical evolution, bathymetric variations and geographical changes [PDF]

, 2004
The deep-water fauna of the Mediterranean is characterized by an absence of distinctive characteristics and by a relative impoverishment. Both are a result of events after the Messinian salinity crisis (Late Miocene).

Geology of the Northern Simbruini Mts. (Abruzzo – Italy) [PDF]

, 2016
This paper presents the results of a geological mapping project across the northern portion of the Simbruini Mts. (Latium-Abruzzi Domain – Central Apennines), where a thick Cretaceous and Miocene carbonate succession, followed by a thick upper Miocene ...

The relative roles of CO2 and palaeogeography in determining Late Miocene climate: results from a terrestrial model-data comparison [PDF]

, 2012
The Late Miocene (∼11.6–5.3 Ma) palaeorecord provides evidence for a warmer and wetter climate than that of today and there is uncertainty in the palaeo-CO2 record of at least 150 ppmv.

Textural variations in Neogene pelagic carbonate ooze at DSDP Site 593, southern Tasman Sea, and their paleoceanographic implications [PDF]

, 2004
Changes in Neogene sediment texture in pelagic carbonate-rich oozes on the Challenger Plateau, southern Tasman Sea, are used to infer changes in depositional paleocurrent velocities.
