At the time of the Messinian Salinity Crisis in the Mediterranean Sea (i.e., the Pontian stage of the Paratethys), the Paratethys sea level dropped also. Evidence found in the sedimentary record of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea has been interpreted to indicate that a sea level fall occurred between 5.6 and 5.5Ma. Estimates for the magnitude of this fall range between tens of meters to more than...
A composite stratigraphic section ranging from the Messinian to the Pliocene, recording the most important phases of the Messinian Salinity Crisis, is represented in the San Miguel de Salinas area (Bajo Segura basin, SE Spain). Detailed magnetostratigraphic and facies analyses and foraminifer and nannoplankton assemblage studies were carried out. Integration of the results has allowed the characterization...
