A sudden change from normal marine to extreme paleoenvironmental conditions occurred approximately 6Ma ago in the Mediterranean Basin at the onset of the late Miocene Messinian salinity crisis, one of the most severe ecological crises in Earth history. Strong evaporation and tectonics led to hypersaline conditions, resulting in widespread deposition of evaporites and the apparent annihilation of the...

The environmental conditions under which these limestones were deposited, their formation mechanism and the timing of deposition are a matter of debate. In order to shed new light on their formation, the lipid biomarker inventories of Calcare di Base from four locations...
