This study describes the hydroclimate evolution of the eastern Mediterranean Basin during
the early Messinian (7.2 to 6.5 Ma) time-interval based on analysis of a succession at Agios …

The latest Miocene (5.96 to 5.33 Ma) is characterised by an outstanding event: the

The reconstruction of the depositional events related to the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC)
of the Mediterranean is generally hampered by an incomplete stratal record in the circum …

New data from the Neogene Boudinar and Arbaa Taourirt basins (northeastern Morocco)
provide constraints on the late Miocene evolution of the North Rifian Corridor. The …

provinces in the Mediterranean region, distinguishing between three groups according to …

Between 5 and 6 million years ago, during the so-called Messinian salinity crisis, the
Mediterranean basin became a giant salt repository. The possibility of abrupt and kilometre …

The final stage of the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) was characterized by brackish-water
