Arc-parallel strain in a short rollback-subduction system: The structural evolution of the Crotone basin (northeastern Calabria, southern Italy) [PDF]

, 2012
Calabria, located in southern Italy, is the exposed part of the forearc in the Ionian/Tyrrhenian subduction-rollback boundary. We present a tectonic model for the evolution of Calabria during the last 12 Ma that incorporates the structure and ...

Integrated stratigraphy and astrochronology of the Messinian GSSP at Oued Akrech (Atlantic Morocco) [PDF]

, 2000
A much improved high-resolution integrated stratigraphy (calcareous plankton biostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, cyclostratigraphy) is presented for the classic section of Oued Akrech (Atlantic Morocco) straddling the Tortonian^Messinian boundary ...

The Messinian Salinity Crisis in the Adriatic Sea

, 2022
The framework of this thesis investigated the effect of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC; 5.97-5.33 Ma) in the Adriatic Sea, one of the most controversial geological events that occurred in the Mediterranean Basin. The main objectives included the analysis of surfaces and units of the MSC to evaluate the thickness of the MSC deposits and their ...

Organic-rich shales from internal Betic basins (SE Spain): potential source rocks analogs for the pre-Messinian Salt play in the Western Mediterranean

Geologica Acta, 2016
Southeastern Spain has a large number of Late Neogene basins with substantial evaporitic deposits that developed under an overall NNW-SSE compressional regime related to the African-European tectonic plates collision.

Climate, abiotic factors, and the evolution of subterranean life

Acta Carsologica, 2010
Climate, and more generally the physical conditions in caves and other subterranean habitats have a profound influence on the biota. At longer time scale (centuries), climate change can force and/or isolate species in subterranean habitats.

Geologia dei Gessi di Brisighella e Rontana [PDF]

, 2015
L’area di Brisighella rappresenta un eccellente laboratorio naturale per comprendere la prima fase della crisi di salinità, lo straordinario evento geologico che nel Messiniano (Miocene superiore), tra 5.970.000 e 5.600.000 di anni fa, ha trasformato il ...

Astrochronology for the Messinian Sorbas basin (SE Spain) and orbital (precessional) forcing for evaporite cyclicity [PDF]

, 1998
The Sorbas basin of SE Spain contains one of the most complete sedimentary successions of the Mediterranean reflecting the increasing salinity during the Messinian salinity crisis.

THE DEMISE OF THE MESSINIAN SALINITY CRISIS AND THE BEGINNING OF THE ZANCLEAN IN THE NORTHERN MEDITERRANEAN BASIN: INSIGHT FROM HIGH-RESOLUTION BIOMAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHY (POLLENZO SECTION, NW ITALY)

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
The Messinian-Zanclean boundary in the Mediterranean basin marks the end of the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) at approximately 5.33 Ma. The mechanism behind the return to normal marine conditions after the MSC are debated, with two main hypotheses ...

Sedimentary Architecture Prediction Using Facies Interpretation and Forward Seismic Modeling: Application to a Mediterranean Land–Sea Pliocene Infill (Roussillon Basin, France)

Geosciences
This study predicts sedimentary architectures and facies distribution within the Pliocene prograding prism of the Roussillon Basin (Gulf of Lion, France), developed along an onshore–offshore continuum.
