Climate-driven diversity changes of Mediterranean echinoids over the last 6 Ma [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022
Echinoids represent an important component of the Cenozoic marine benthic communities. Their diversity in the Mediterranean area is reviewed within the Late Miocene–Recent, a period of remarkable paleogeographic and paleoclimate changes.

The 'Tortonian salinity crisis' of the eastern Betics (Spain) [PDF]

, 2000
The late Miocene depositional history of the Lorca and Fortuna basins, both occupying an internal position in the eastern Betics of Spain, is marked by a regressive sequence from open marine marls, via diatomites and evaporites, to continental ...

MARINE LIFE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN DURING THE MESSINIAN SALINITY CRISIS: A PALEOICHTHYOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2022
Almost fifty years after the first definition of the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC), the events that occurred in the Mediterranean during the terminal portion of the Miocene still attract the attention of a large and diverse scientific community ...

Quantifying the Mediterranean freshwater budget throughout the late Miocene:New implications for sapropel formation and the Messinian Salinity Crisis [PDF]

, 2017
The cyclic sedimentary record of the late Miocene Mediterranean shows a clear transition from open marine to restricted conditions and finally to evaporitic environments associated with the Messinian Salinity Crisis. This evolution has been attributed to

Causes and consequences of the Messinian salinity crisis [PDF]

Nature Reviews Earth and Environment
Salt giants are massive salt deposits (hundreds of metres thick) that form during the evaporation of semi-enclosed seas. The drivers of salt giant formation and their feedbacks on global and regional environmental change remain debated. In this Review, we summarize the boundary conditions, causes and consequences of the Mediterranean Messinian salinity

Toward an Astrochronology-Based Age-Model for a Messinian Pre-Evaporitic Succession: The Example of Torrente Vaccarizzo Section in Sicily (Italy)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Tectonic, paleoenvironmental, and paleoclimatic unstable conditions preceding the onset of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) highly affected marine life. Changes in calcareous plankton association are overall registered in the Mediterranean.

Evaluating the role of seagrass in Cenozoic CO2 variations [PDF]

, 2016
Marine seagrass angiosperms play an important role in carbon sequestration, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and binding it as organic matter. Carbon is stored in the plants themselves, but also in the sediments both in inorganic and organic

The deep record of the Messinian salinity crisis: Evidence of a non-desiccated Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

, 2015
This research is focused on a complete reexamination of the evaporite facies present in all the cores that cut through the topmost deposits of the Messinian salinity crisis lying below the floor of the Mediterranean Sea (DSDP Legs 13 and 42A, ODP Legs ...

Late Miocene Mediterranean desiccation: topography and significance of the 'Salinity Crisis' erosion surface on-land in southeast Spain: Reply [PDF]

, 2000
We welcome this opportunity to amplify the results of our studies of the Late Miocene Messinian sequence in the Sorbas Basin of southeast Spain. The Salinity Crisis concept has captured geological imagination and found its way into textbooks, but ...

A record of the Messinian salinity crisis in the eastern Ionian tectonically active domain (Greece, eastern Mediterranean) [PDF]

, 2016
This integrated study (field observations, micropalaeontology, magnetostratigraphy, geochemistry, borehole data and seismic profiles) of the Messinian\u2013Zanclean deposits on Zakynthos Island (Ionian Sea) focuses on the sedimentary succession recording
