Palaeogeographic evolution of the late Miocene Rifian Corridor (Morocco): reconstructions from surface and subsurface data
Abstract The Rifian Corridor was one of the Mediterranean–Atlantic seaways that
progressively restricted and caused the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC). Many key …

Evolution of the Late Miocene Mediterranean–Atlantic gateways and their impact on regional and global environmental change
Marine gateways play a critical role in the exchange of water, heat, salt and nutrients
between oceans and seas. As a result, changes in gateway geometry can significantly alter …

The deep-water counterpart of the Messinian Lower Evaporites in the Apennine foredeep: the Fanantello section (Northern Apennines, Italy)
A possible deep-water non-evaporitic unit equivalent of the Messinian Lower Evaporites has
been recognised in the Northern Apennine foredeep. This unit, whose existence is implicitly …

Evidence for an African-Iberian mammal dispersal during the pre-evaporitic Messinian
The accurate timing of biogeographic dispersal can be determined by examining the age of
fossiliferous strata on either side of a physical barrier. Here we show that African mammals …
