“…However, this does not disqualify the magnetostratigraphic results. The polarity results from Panagia are robust with clustered ChRM directions that define a complex pattern that can be correlated with the GPTS and that is in agreement with patterns documented at other sites throughout Paratethys for the end Khersonian-Maeotian interval 15,26,66,68 .…”

The largest megalake in the geological record formed in Eurasia during the late Miocene, when the epicontinental Paratethys Sea became tectonically-trapped and disconnected from the global ocean. The megalake was characterized by several episodes of hydrological instability and partial desiccation, but the chronology, magnitude and impacts of these paleoenvironmental crises are poorly known. Our integrated stratigraphic study shows that the main desiccation episodes occurred between 9.75 and 7.65 million years ago. We identify four major regressions that correlate with aridification events, vegetation changes and faunal turnovers in large parts of Europe. Our paleogeographic reconstructions reveal that the Paratethys was profoundly transformed during regression episodes, losing ~ 1/3 of the water volume and ~ 70% of its surface during the most extreme events. The remaining water was stored in a central salt-lake and peripheral desalinated basins while vast regions (up to 1.75 million km2) became emergent land, suitable for development of forest-steppe landscapes. The partial megalake desiccations match with climate, food-web and landscape changes throughout Eurasia, although the exact triggers and mechanisms remain to be resolved.

The history of the Paratethys and its inhabiting organisms was profoundly influenced by its connections with the Global Ocean. As the sea-straits linking Paratethys with the ocean expanded, they integrated the Paratethys with the global ocean, causing its water level to mirror the global eustatic fluctuations. These intervals of increased ocean connectivity existed during most part of the Oligocene-Early Miocene, in the Early Badenian-Tarkhanian, and in the Late Badenian-Konkian, when also fostered favourable environments for marine life to flourish in the Paratethys. When the marine connections became unstable and the sea-straits closed (e.g., in the second half of Ruppelian-Solenovian time, late Ottnangian-Kotzakhurian, middle Badenian-Karaganian and from the onset of the Sarmatian up to the Pliocene), ransformed into vast lacustrine waterbodies where water levels and salinities were controlled by the balance between river runoff and precipitation versus evaporation. Excess of water led to the basin expansion and brackish conditions, while deficits caused contraction and fragmentation. This resulted in hypersaline basins and lagoons co-existing with freshwater lakes, creating diverse environments and faunas that hindered effective biostratigraphic correlations. These fluctuations caused the decline of the marine biota, leaving behind only euribiontic organisms capable of enduring drastic shifts in salinity, ion composition, and oxygen levels. Over time, these survivors diversified and gave rise to endemic faunal communities adapted to the brackish environments. The history of the faunistic and phytoplankton composition of the Carpathian part of the basin (Central Paratethys) became noticeably different from the Euxine-Caspian ones from the beginning of the Neogene, which led to different stratigraphic schemes of these parts of the Paratethys. In recent decades, our focus has centred on refining our understanding of the Eastern Paratethys paleogeography. While the periods of high base levels in the Eastern Paratethys are well-documented, the significant base-level drops during isolation phases have often been overlooked. This was primarily because, until recently, there were no effective methods for reconstructing the paleogeography and geochronology of Paratethys during these episodes of base-level drops. However, with the advancements in seismic stratigraphy and the utilization of integrated magneto-bio-stratigraphy, we now possess the means to explore the scale and spatial distribution of paleogeographic changes, particularly during the substantial basin reductions in partial desiccation periods. Large regressions (during second part of the Ruppelian, terminal Tarkhanian and Sarmatian in the Eastern Paratethys and during early Pliocene in the Caspian basin) erode parts of sedimentary layers, forming surfaces of inconsistency between geological bodies accumulated before and after the sea-level drop, which can be traced on seismic profiles as erosion boundaries. By deciphering such surfaces and the depth of river incisions flowing into the basin, it is now possible to reconstruct the relief picture resulting from these erosions and quantify the depth of baselevel drops in the Paratethys during the largest regressions.
