New imaging of the salinity crisis: Dual Messinian lowstand megasequences recorded in the deep basin of both the eastern and western Mediterranean
C Gorini, L Montadert, M Rabineau - Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2015 - Elsevier
Through several examples we show that following sea-level fall and marginal erosion during
the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC), clastic inputs into the eastern and western …

Messinian Salinity Crisis deposits widespread over the Balearic Promontory: Insights from new high-resolution seismic data
The current interpretation of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) involves the deposition of
peripheral or marginal evaporites in onshore basins as well as the erosion of the margin and …

Magnetic field imaging of salt structures at Nordkapp Basin, Barents Sea
We show that high‐resolution aeromagnetic surveys, although rarely employed in the
research of salt structures, may be an effective and low‐cost tool for mapping diapirism. A …

Messinian evaporites and fluid flow
C Bertoni, J Cartwright - Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2015 - Elsevier
Thick evaporite sequences deposited in saline giant basins are traditionally viewed as
impermeable barriers to fluid flow. This paradigm has recently been challenged by …

Erosional versus aggradational canyons along a tectonically-active margin: The northeastern Ligurian margin (western Mediterranean Sea)
Submarine canyons are usually described as erosive conduits incising the continental slope
through retrogressive sediment failures and active erosion by gravity flows. Only a few …
