“…2). The evolution of the water body during the MSC in Nijar Basin is generally consistent with that in Sorbas Basin, where Yesares gypsum and marl intervals were deposited in deep environments, e.g., from 30 to 200 m (Dronkert, 1985;Rosell et al, 1998;Goubert et al, 2001;Néraudeau et al, 2001).…”

“…Marine life survived into the Pliocene in the near-shore environments, like those of southern Spain, from where Porites reefs are still reported, together with a variety of irregular tropical sea urchins (Esteban 1979(Esteban /1980Néraudeau et al 2001). A variety of tropical fi sh were reported from the Messinian of Italy, among them the round herring Spratelloides, the razor fi sh Centriscus (Fig.…”

Many thousands of tropical species have been settling in the Mediterranean during the last decades. Th is is the result of congruence between the present Climate Optimum, which is expressed in the warming of the sea and the opening of the contact with the Indo-pacifi c realm through the Suez Canal and a renewed entry through the Straits of Gibraltar. A historical review shows that tropical biota survived in the Mediterranean till the end of the Pliocene Climate Optimum and that presently we are witnessing a re-colonization of the Mediterranean by Tethyan descendants, rather than an invasion by harmful alien species as happens elsewhere. Th e limits of this resettling as witnessed today are discussed.

“…Echinocardium is relatively rare in Miocene strata (Néraudeau et al 2001;Kroh 2005), with the exception of the Burdigalian of the Southern Rhône Basin (Philippe 1998). It is usually found in infralittoral sands, often in association with echinaceans (e.g.…”
