Abstract: | The Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) was an outstanding palaeo-oceanographic event that affected the Mediterranean region from 5.97 to 5.33 Ma. This event resulted in the deposition of kilometre-thick sequences of salt and is widely associated with the partial desiccation of the Mediterranean Basin. What is unclear is how normal marine conditions were restored at the end of the MSC. |
