“…13b) because the modern Alpine Danube did not exist at that time. Indeed, the Danube River reached the Vienna Basin in the Late Pliocene (Pfleiderer, 2008), which is consistent with its 15 appearance in the Dacic Basin at the early Romanian (Table 1) as reported by Jipa (2009 The development of an ancestor of the modern fluvial network in the Dacic Basin is consistent with the formation of a major erosional unconformity in the Pannonian Basin as a response to the MSC (Csato et al, 2007). The unconformity is evidenced on regional seismic profiles (Fig.…”

“…As the onset of the basin inversion took place in Late Miocene-Pliocene times (Horváth 1995;Bada et al 2007), development of the suggested third-order sequences has been also related to the steps of the tectonic evolution of Pannonian Basin (Juhász et al 2007). Some authors (Csató 1993;Vakarcs et al 1994;Csató et al 2007) claimed that the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) resulted in the development of a major unconformity in Lake Pannon, but this suggestion is controversial for the same reason. Sacchi et al (1999) and Magyar and Sztanó (2008) proposed that neither seismic record shows any evidence for the effect of MSC on the level of Lake Pannon.…”

Major deepwater sand accumulations are known to be connected to sea-level lowstands in marine basins, due to the relative lack of accommodation space on the shelf. This model was tested for the Late Miocene Lake Pannon, a large endorheic lake depositing a sedimentary succession up to 3-4 km thick. The progradation of the shelf between 9.7 and 6 Ma was tracked along a 2D seismic network. The shelf-edge trajectory indicates continuous, moderate lake-level rise between 9.7 and 9 Ma. This is followed by alternating intervals of quasi-steady and rapidly rising relative lake level with a period of ca. 250 ky. However, due to the lack of significant lake-level drops, no third-order sequence boundary was identified in the studied time span (9.7-6 Ma). The sand ratio of the deepwater deposits does not show strong correlation with these lakelevel changes; moreover, the units deposited under rising lake-level conditions generally contain slightly larger proportion of sand. These features can be explained by the climatic origin of water-level rises: increasing precipitation enhances not only water inflow, but also sediment influx, which can overwhelm the well-known effect of accommodation space on the sand transport toward the deep water. The results suggest that shelf-margin trajectory might not be an efficient tool for predicting deepwater accumulations of sand in endorheic lacustrine basins.

“…at the distal part of the Zanclean Gilbert-type fan delta constructed by the proto-Danube River, which cut the Carpathians during the Messinian desiccation phase at the place of the present-day Iron Gates Gorge (Text- Figure 10B; Clauzon et al, 2005;Leever, 2007). This proto-Danube River probably originated at the western edge of the Carpathians, where some important latest Miocene fluvial erosion is evident (Csato et al, 2007).…”

2009) Galeacysta etrusca complex: Dinoflagellate cyst marker of paratethyan influxes to the Mediterranean sea before and after the peak of the messinian salinity crisis, Palynology, 33:2, 105-134, AbstractMore than one thousand specimens of a morphological complex including Galeacysta etrusca Corradini & Biffi 1988 from 11 Upper Miocene and Lower Pliocene localities of the Paratethyan and Mediterranean realms have been studied using a biometric approach in part relating to the degree of separation between endocyst and ectocyst. Four stable biometric groups have been distinguished statistically, the occurrence or prevalence of which appears closely linked to environmental conditions irrespective of the realm. Group 'a' is related to brackish conditions, group 'b' to marine conditions, group 'c' to freshwater, and group 'd' to high nutrient levels. Based on an accurate chronology provided by calcareous nannoplankton bioevents and recognition of the Messinian Erosional Surface, this study reveals:Palynology, 33 (2) 2009:105-134 Downloaded by [Northeastern University] at 17:47 01 December 2014 106 PALYNOLOGY, VOLUME 33(2) -2009(1) the high sensitivity of the Galeacysta etrusca complex for reconstructing paleoenvironments and discriminating phases of connection and isolation of basins;(2) the detailed history of this species complex which originated in the Pannonian Basin at ca. 8 Ma before invading the Dacic Basin during the interval 6-5.60 Ma, then migrating into the Mediterranean during high sea-level connections (the 'Lago Mare' events just before and after the peak of the Messinian Salinity Crisis, i.e. at 5.60 Ma and during the interval ca. 5. respectively), and finally into the Black Sea at ca. 5.13 Ma;(3) an improved paleogeography for the Mediterranean and Paratethyan realms with focus on the location of corridors and the timing of when they were active.Based on field observations and dinoflagellate cyst data, we propose that the reflooding of the Mediterranean Basin by Atlantic waters occurred at ca. 5.46 Ma, about 130 kyr before the Zanclean GSSP (5.332 Ma).
