“…The position of the C3An.1n -C3r polarity boundary in the Rîmnicu Sărat section is thus a little uncertain, which might explain the small age difference with other Eastern Paratethys sections. Our high-resolution palaeomagnetic age constraint resolves this discrepancy and confirms a 6.1 Ma age for the Maeotian-Pontian boundary in the Dacian Basin, in analogy with the Caspian and the Black Sea Basins (van Baak et al, 2016;Rostovtseva and Rybkina, 2017).…”

“…This influx of marine fauna, called the "Pontian flooding", was correlated magnetostratigraphically slightly below the C3An.1n -C3r polarity switch and dated in the Dacian Basin at 6.04 Ma (Krijgsman et al, 2010). Cyclostratigraphic calibration of this boundary in the Caspian and Black seas suggest a 6.1 Ma age (Chang et al, 2014;van Baak et al, 2016;Rostovtseva and Rybkina, 2017). We place the Maeotian-Pontian boundary in Slănicul de Buzău at 1270 m (Sample SB113), in the upper part of normal zone N3, where we note the sudden appearance of a remarkable meso-, polyhaline microfauna followed by the appearance of typical Pontian molluscs at 1286 m ( Fig.…”

“…The Maeotian-Pontian boundary has been dated cyclostratigraphically at ~ 6.1 Ma in the Black Sea and Caspian Sea (Chang et al, 2014;van Baak et al, 2016;Rostovtseva and Rybkina, 2017), and magneto-biostratigraphically at 6.04 Ma in the Dacian Basin (slightly below C3r -C3An.1n polarity switch) (Krijgsman et al, 2010;Stoica et al, 2013).…”

“…The age of the Khersonian-Maeotian boundary has been highly debated, with attributed ages differing as much as 3 Myr: 10.5 Ma (Matenco et al, 2003), 9.3 Ma (Nevesskaya et al, 2003), 7.6 Ma (Rybkina et al, 2015;Palcu et al, 2019b). In the Black Sea, the Khersonian- Maeotian boundary was magneto-and cyclostratigraphically dated at 7.6 Ma (Trubikhin, 1989;Rybkina et al, 2015;Rostovtseva and Rybkina, 2017). In the Dacian Basin, initiation of the Maeotian transgression was dated at 7.65 Ma (slightly below C4n.1n -C4n.1r polarity reversal) (Palcu et al, 2019b).…”

Paratethys The Paratethys was an ancient, vast Eurasian sea that once extended from the Alps on the West to western China on the East (Laskarev, 1924; Rögl, 1999; Schulz et al., 2005). Nowadays, small remnants of this sea in the form of the Black and Caspian seas are left. The large-scale evolution of the Paratethys, from its birth until now, was actively controlled by the tectonic collision of the African, Eurasian and Arabian plates, including further several microplates. Around the Oligocene-Eocene transition (~35 Ma), ongoing plate collision separated the Paratethys from the Mediterranean Sea (Schulz et al., 2005). Subsequent evolution of the Paratethys was driven by a prograding collision that resulted in the formation of the Caucasus, Alps, Carpathians and several other mountain ranges. Initially, the Paratethys comprised a Western, Central and Eastern domain. The short-lived and small Western Paratethys formed in the Alpine foreland basin and became isolated at the end of the early Miocene

50th anniversary review of the Mediterranean desiccation hypothesis

The first deep-sea drilling expedition in the Mediterranean chanced upon unanticipated discoveries when recovering deeply buried sediments of Late Miocene age that had once accumulated in ultra-shallow water and had later experienced subaerial exposure. Among these deposits were potassium and magnesium chlorides, desiccation cracks, fluvial gravels and shale bearing bottom-dwelling diatoms requiring sunlight, all indicative that the Mediterranean had evaporated one or more times to near dryness during what became called the Messinian Salinity Crisis. The initial presentation of these findings in 1973 was met with hesitancy. Had the present 2 to 4 km deep Mediterranean Basins been much shallower? How does one explain sediment sandwiched between beds of anhydrite and gypsum that hosted microfossils belonging to both ocean seawater and species that lived in fresh-to-brackish water lagoons? Did all of the evaporites originate on salt pans rimmed by alluvial aprons, or was there a deep-water period during which most of the 1 to 2 km thick layer of salt layer had arrived? How do the Late Miocene evaporites and mudstones outcropping in mobile belts along numerous Mediterranean margins fit with the scenario of a near empty Mediterranean? These inquiries are addressed in the style of a historical narrative reviewing 50 years of investigations by researchers turning their attention to the peripheral deposits, including those from the Paratethys. The stable isotopes of oxygen, carbon, sulfur, deuterium and strontium become crucial evidence in support of a substantial Mediterranean desiccation that harmonizes what appears to be unresolved conflicts among prior and even contemporary interpretations.
