Palaeogene ,calcareous nannofossils ,Western Black Sea Basin ,wells ,foraminifera - Abstract
This study aims to bring new constraints on the Eocene stratigraphy of the northern edge of Istria Basin, located in Western Black Sea. For achieving our goal, we have studied several core reports containing the description of the lithology and microfossils assemblages (foraminifera, ostracods and calcareous nannofossils) from 3 wells drilled in the northern Istria Basin. Thus, we were able to identify lithological and biostratigraphic constraints, allowing to generate a coherent correlation scheme for the Eocene deposits, with precise age assignment and advanced models of the IB evolution during the Eocene. The lithology of the 3 wells, situated in the Sinoe, Lebăda West and Lebăda East areas, is mainly represented by calcareous sandstones and siliciclastic ones. The biostratigraphy indicates that the deposits of the Sinoe and Lebăda West wells are Middle Eocene in age (mostly the upper part), while in the Lebăda East well a late Early to Middle Eocene age was assigned., {"references":["Agnini C., Muttoni G., Kent D.V., Rio D., 2006.

[SDU.STU]Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Earth Sciences - Abstract
International audience; In the frame of the GAARAnti ANR-17-CE31-0009 project, we aim at establishing the paleogeography of the arc/forearc areas of the Northern Lesser Antilles over the last 35 Ma to bring constraints for the mammal fauna dispersion paleo-biogeographic models from south America to Greater Antilles. Available paleogeographic maps are ancient (Stephan et al., 1990; Iturralde-Vinent & McPhee, 1999) and contradictive. During that time, the forearc of the Lesser Antilles subduction zone strain pattern accommodated (i) strain partitioning related to subduction obliquity and (ii) progressive trench bending by several episodes of differential vertical and horizontal motions which may have built and/or destroyed continental areas allowing south american terrestrial mammals to reach the Greater Antilles or isolating some south American mammals on newly formed islands. We conducted new studies, onshore on the Anguilla Bank islands and offshore in Kallinago Trough and Wallichi Plateau to reconstruct the evolving paleogeography of this area. We used: 1) new micropaleontological, sedimentological and paleoenvironmental results acquired onshore and from dredged samples during the GARANTI Cruise in may 2017; 2) a database of seismic profiles from various sources: CPEM 1980; ANTITHESIS 2016 and GARANTI 2017 cruises.Onshore, we revised the stratigraphy of the Neogene series. Offshore, we established a seismic stratigraphy and correlated the seismic units and erosional unconformities with the onshore lithostratigraphic successions. We then built paleogeographic maps for different time spans: late Eocene-early Oligocene, late Oligocene-Aquitanian, Burdigalian, early Langhian, mid-late Miocene and Zanclean. During late Eocene-early Oligocene most the area was emergent except in the Kallinago Trough. Significant subsidence periods occurred during Burdigalian and mid-late Miocene and most of the terrestrial areas were drowned. During early Langhian and Zanclean numerous small islands occurred.

Euxinian-Caspian domain ,Middle Miocene ,calcareous nannoplankton ,lithology, macrofaunas - Abstract
This paper presents investigation carried out on two sections containing successions of the middle Sarmatian s.l. (Bessarabian) and upper Sarmatian s.l. (Khersonian). Both substages are mainly characterized, from lithological point of view, by the presence of chalky limestones, argillaceous limestones, oolithic limestones and coquinas. The boundary between the two substages is marked by coquinas mainly containing small-sized specimens of the bivalve Cardium spp. The upper Bessarabian is characterized by the Plicatiforma fittoni bivalve zone, while in the Khersonian substage the Mactra caspia bivalve zone, followed by Mactra bulgarica biozones are present. The Techirghiol section contains no calcareous nannofossils, while in the Limanu section a few specimens assigned to the genus Noelaerhabdus were discovered in the upper Bessarabian. This finding indicates a possible connection of the South Dobrogea (part of the Euxinian-Caspian domain) with the Central Paratethys, during the middle Sarmatian s.l. (Bessarabian)., {"references":["Andreescu I. (2008). Magnetobiostratigrafia depozitelor Sarmato-Pliocene din estul Bazinului Dacic. In: Avram C, Melinte M, editors.

DRILLING platforms , *DRILL core analysis - Abstract
The paper presents well-preserved microfaunas (foraminifersand ostracods) enclosed in cuttings samples and cores recovered by 6 hydrocarbon wells drilled in the Moesian Platform, in Siliştea area, S Romania. The lithological and micropaleontological obtained data improve the stratigraphic knowledge at regional level. The analyzed samples contain foraminifera that characterize biozones extending in the Sarmatian, as follows: the middle Volhynian Varidentella reussi, the late Volhynian Elphidium reginum, the early Bessarabian Dogiellina sarmatica and the late Bessarabian Porosononion aragviensis. The ostracod assemblages found were assigned to the Volhynian Cytheridea hungarica–Aurila mehesi biozone. The Sarmatian deposits are unconformably overlaying the Upper Cretaceous ones, characterized by the presence of rich planktonic and benthonic foraminiferal assemblages. Above the Sarmatian deposits, Upper Miocene (Meotian) ones were identified. These enclosed rich brackish ostracod microfaunas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

NANNOFOSSILS ,PETROLOGY ,FORAMINIFERA ,SANDSTONE ,LIMESTONE - Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to provide new geological information and interpretation of the well data from the Istria Basin, Western Black Sea. Therefore, we present a reconsideration of the microfaunas (mainly foraminifers) and calcareous nannofossils described from several wells drilled on the Lebada East structure belonging to the Istria Basin, by using core reports. Thus, we have been able to compile integrated information regarding the lithology and biostratigraphy of the wells. We have focused on the stratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous deposits, placed in between the uppermost Lower Cretaceous (i.e., the Albian) sediments and the Eocene ones. Among the investigated wells, we present in this paper one well situated in the Lebada East structure. The drilled sediments are argillaceous sandstones and sandy-argillaceous limestones Cenomanian, followed by Santonian deposits, showing a similar lithology as above-described. Fossiliferous calcareous sandstones were deposited in the Campanian-lower Maastrichtian. The uppermost Cretaceous, i.e., the upper part of the Maastrichtian is composed of micritic limestones. The Upper Cretaceous stages have been distinguished by using planktonic foraminiferal biozonation. Hence, the Cenomanian was pointed out based on the presence of an assemblage with Thalmanninella appenninica, T. brotzeni and Rotalipora cushmani, while the upper Santonian depositional interval contain the planktonic foraminifers Dicarinella concavata and Globotruncana mariei, as significant biostratigraphic species. The Campanian-lower Maastrichtian depositional interval was pointed out by the presence in the calcareous nannofossil assemblage of the taxa Uniplanarius trifidus and Ceratolithoides aculeus. The Upper Cretaceous ends with a thick upper Maastrichtian succession enclosing significant foraminifers and calcareous nannofossils species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

amber ,Lucăcești Formation ,Vrancea Nappe ,Upper Eocene ,NE Romania - Abstract
The occurrence of amber in the Upper Eocene deposits of the outer Moldavide Nappes is herein presented. The geological significance and various properties of the amber from the Duraș Site (Neamț County) are, for the first time, discussed. The primary amber occurrence is located in the glauconite-rich siliceous arenites, of the Lucăcești Formation, latest Eocene, i.e., Priabonian, in age. The chemical properties and IR spectra of the amber from the Duraș are similar to those of the Almaschite amber variety, from the same region, but different from other amber varieties, such as Rumanite (Buzău region, South - Eastern Carpathians), Muntenite from the Southern Carpathians, and Schraufite (North - Eastern Carpathians, Bucovina)., {"references":["Barthel M., Hetzer H., 1982.

Unmanned aerial vehicle, salt breccia, fluvial resedimentation, nature reserve, Eastern Carpathians - Abstract
The Nature Reserve „Bădila Limestone Blocks“, located on the Buzău River in the Buzău Land Geopark (Romania), is known for the occurrence of exotic limestone blocks (Tithonian) included in the Badenian Salt Breccia Horizon. An investigation of the Reserve area using an unmanned aerial vehicle was carried out. The drone-based study of the Bădila Geological Reserve generated a high resolution digital image of the exotic blocks distribution. A small number of large blocks (12 blocks with diameters ranging from 4 to 20 m) occur together with a large number of smaller blocks (414 blocks with diameters from 0.1 to 4 m). The Bădila exotic limestone blocks were resedimented by fluvial currents, suffered a size-sorting and their frequency diminished downstreamward.

This paper presents the correlation between the geomorphological features of the Slănicul de Buzău Valley and the geological ones, such as the tectonic regime and the type of rocks. We are pointing out that the geomorphology of the valley and the change of the flow direction are linked to the type of rocks and tectonic elements of traversed geological structures. The change of the upper course of the river from NS to WE upstream the Lopătari locality coincides with a major tectonic element, a digitation occurring in the deposits formed by hard compact Paleogene rocks. The upper course deep valley is replaced by a larger one in the sector that exposed Miocene and Pliocene deposits, showing a W-E direction. The lower course of the river shows again a change in the course direction from N towards S, up to its confluence with the Buzău River. This modification corresponds to the occurrence of the friable Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene deposits, such as sandstones, clays, marls and weakly consolidated ones, i.e., sands and loess.

This paper summarizes the results of a sedimentologic investigation of Albian sandstones and conglomerates from the eastern extremity of the Southern Carpathians, the area between the Ialomița and Dâmbovița rivers. Lithofacies analysis, paleotransport, provenance and paleoenvironment of these clastic sediments are the main focus of the paper. An important component of the study is the part played by Ialomița-Dâmbovița Albian sediment accumulation in the Albian sedimentary history of the Carpathian Bend zone. Two major lithofacies occur in the Ialomița-Dâmbovița Albian sedimentary succession: medium- and coarse-grained sandstones and sandstones with conglomerate interbeds. These deposits are intercalated with a third significant lithofacies, rhythmic finer grained deposits of silty clay and silty and finegrained sandstones. Some of the coarser grained Albian sediments (both sandstones and conglomerates) are structureless, poorly sorted, have a relatively large amount of sandy matrix and include oversize clasts, features indicative of accumulation by sediment gravity flow. The normal graded sandstones and the conglomerates with poor sorting, abundant matrix and oversize clasts suggest sediment transport by high density turbidity currents. The accumulation of the rhythmic, alternating silty clay and silty fine-grained arenite sediments is ascribed to low density turbidity currents. According to their relationship with the underlying, younger deposits, the monocline structure and their presence within a succession of clastic sediments forming a coarsening-upward stacking pattern, it is proposed here that the Albian deposits in the Ialomița-Dâmbovița area were involved in a very active, large-scale progradation process, with deposition occurring on the continental rise. The Albian deposits in the Ialomița-Dâmbovița area are genetically and stratigraphically correlated with the deposits of the Babele Sandstone and the Scropoasa-Lăptici Sandstone units in the Bucegi Mountains. The Babele-Dâmbovița sedimentary basin is distinct and different from the depositional basin of the deep-water Albian conglomerate fan from the Carpathian Bend zone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the microfaunal assemblages of lower Sarmatian (Volhynian) deposits intercepted by 10 hydrocarbon wells from the Blejești hydrocarbon field, S Romania. The identified microfaunas are typically for two Volhynian foraminifera zones: Varidentella reussi Zone and Elphidium reginum Zone. At the contact with the underlying Cretaceous or Middle Miocene (= Badenian) units, the Sarmatian studied samples, containing foraminiferal assemblages with abundant Ammonia beccarri, may not be assigned to a certain biozone. Besides, the identified ostracod assemblages were assigned to the NO 11 Cytheridea hungarica – Aurila mehesi. The composition and the abundance of microfaunal assemblages allow us to advance paleoecological considerations for the lower Sarmatian deposition interval of the studied area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The oldest Romanian research focused on the Romanian Black Sea continental shelf was published in the volume The Sulina Arm. An outlet to sea (Danube European Commission, 1856). At the beginning of the 20th Century, The Marine Map – Romania’s coastline was elaborated by Cătuneanu. Additionally, biologists, geographers and geologists, such as Grigore Antipa, Ion Borcea, Constantin Brătescu, and Radu Ciocărdel, among many others, initiated significant studies within the Romanian continental shelf in the first decades of the 20th Century. The systematic geological-sedimentological mapping of the Black Sea continental shelf was started in 1971 by the team of the Marine Geology Laboratory of the Romanian Institute of Marine Research, while since 1987 the mapping of the Black Sea continental shelf activities were integrated in the general activity of the Geological Institute of Romania. Since 1993, the mapping activities of the Romanian Black Sea region are performed by the National Institute of Research and Development for Marine Geology and Geoecology (GeoEcoMar). Over the last decades, the detailed mapping on the Romanian Black Sea continental shelf is produced, firstly at a 1:200,000 scale and later on a scale of 1:50,000. Information regarding the lithological and sedimentological aspects, along with the habitat mapping, as well as geophysical and geochemical investigations led to a complete picture of the NW Black Sea continental shelf.

The calcareous nannoplankton represents a group of major components of the oceanic phytoplankton, situated at the base of the trophic chain. The evolution pattern of these organisms is relevant in the past geological record and nowadays, for several research fields, such as: marine biology, marine geology, biogeochemistry, micropaleontology, biostratigraphy as well as paleogeographic and paleoclimatic reconstructions, including the paleoenvironmental ones. Taking into account that the calcareous nannoplankton species (namely calcareous nannofossils for the extinct taxa) already occur at the end of the Triassic, based on the fluctuation pattern in abundance and diversity, past climate and environmental changes may be revealed for approximately the last 205 million years. As the Black Sea basin experienced significant sea-level fluctuations and paleoenvironmental changes during its geological record, and especially within the Pleistocene-Holocene interval, the calcareous nannoplankton is employed for deciphering the aforementioned changes. Several investigations, including those presented herein, took place in the Black Sea based on this group of organisms both in the deeper parts of the basin and in the shallow ones (i.e., the continental shelf), revealing significant fluctuations of the extinct and extant assemblages.

MUD volcanoes ,SALT domes ,GROUNDWATER ,FLUID pressure ,ZWITTERIONS ,VOLCANIC eruptions - Abstract
Mud volcanoes occur both on land and oceans, but their occurrence is generally known on limited areas. Many of the European mud volcanoes structures are known from Romania, where their number exceeds 40. The most impressive and famous of the Romanian mud volcanoes are situated near the Buzău town, at Berca, in the Romanian Carpathian bend area. Other Romanian mud volcanoes are situated in the Transylvanian Basin and in the SW part of the country (Banat region). This paper presents the geological setting, including the lithofacies of mud volcano structures and new geochemical acquired data on methane and CO
2 emissions. We concluded that the shape and size of the mud volcanoes are linked to the fluid pressure, the underground water, the passage through clayey deposits and the presence of hydrocarbons or salt. Therefore, the occurrence of the mud volcanoes in the Berca region is related to the existence of Berca anticline, hydrocarbons and the salt diapirs of the Inner Foredeep of the Eastern Carpathians. Besides, the subsurface deposits of the region comprise various sedimentary types, i.e., sandstones, clays, marls and sands, mainly Miocene up to Pliocene in age. Most probably, the intensity and frequency of the eruptions is given by the size of the gas pore-pressure. The measurements in the mud volcano region of Berca indicate that the methane and CO2 flux displays a high variability, linked to fluid seepage episodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

International audience; Continental erosion and weathering destroy parts of the stratigraphic record. Analyses of the sedimentary filling of paleokarsts help completing the geological record of regions that have been submitted to post-depositional, long-term, continental evolution. Jurassic carbonate platform of Languedoc (South of France) has undergone several karstification phases from Cretaceous to Neogene. Later incision of canyons through the carbonate massifs allows to observe paleokarsts over 400m depth, within the massifs. Paleokarsts are partly filled with sediments. Some have yielded marine bioclasts (echinoderms, radiolars), foraminifera and nannofossils; others are composed of polygenic detrital sediments, including sources from the upstream Paleozoic basement (Cevennes). The age of the filling of successive paleokarsts can be constrained by structural relationships and by biostratigraphy. These findings suggests 1) the marine elements of the karstic filling relate to a Late Cretaceous to Early Paleocene interval, while 2) the Paleozoic basement-sourced-sediments were trapped in the karst during Miocene to Present. Karstic sediment containing Early Paleocene foraminifera and nannofossils are found in paleokarsts cavities distributed across the entire thickness of the carbonate massif (≥350m). This requires base-level lowering and associated karstification, followed by base-level rise and karst filling of at least 350 m amplitude, respectively. The time interval corresponding to the occurrence of foraminifera and nannofossils in karsts covers 10 Myrs ; surprisingly, no equivalent marine sediments are preserved on the surface. In addition, analyses of the different forams species suggests several (up to 3) distinct karstification and marine filling cycles. Finally, sedimentological facies analysis of the karst filling reveals the following succession of processes: low energy settling of mudstone, high energy reworking, transport and deposition of silts and sandstones within the karst system. Integration of geological, paleontological and sedimentological data, leads to a polyphase scenario in response to repeated base-level variations, more than 350m amplitude. Such an amplitude excludes eustacy, and the improbable repeated sequence of uplift and subsidence rules out tectonics, as driving forces for base-level change, respectively. We propose that the high-amplitude base-level changes results from a succession of desiccation-flooding events of an endorheic, silled, basin during Early Paleogene. The later detrital assemblage sourced in the Cevennes occurs on perched paleosurfaces and in karst cavities across the whole 350m-deep canyon walls. When found on paleosurfaces, they correspond to the south-flowing Early Miocene fluvial drainage, and can be correlated downstream with the marine, well dated, Early Miocene, sediments. When found within the karst cavities, they correspond to successive base-level surfaces connected to the progressive incision of the canyon. This canyon incision is coeval with a Late Miocene uplift of the hinterland.

International audience; van Baak et al. provide magnetostratigraphy for DSDP Hole 380A along a 175 m interval and a 40Ar/39Ar date at 706.8 mbsf. The biostratigraphic basis for their interpretation is the first consistent occurrence (FCO) of the dinoflagellate cysts Galeacysta etrusca and Caspidinium rugosum at 841 and 850 mbsf, respectively (Groothe et al., 2014), instead of at least 1009.36 mbsf as demonstrated by Suc et al. (2015) (Fig. 1A). Grothe et al. (2014) proposed an age of 6.1 Ma for this event from the Taman Peninsula. We repeat that the placement of this bioevent at 6.1 Ma is significantly lower in the sedimentary succession of Site 380 (Fig. 1A).

Since the discovery of calcareous nannofossils, dinoflagellate cysts and planktonic foraminifers in deposits from the Dacic Basin, intensive research has been performed in order to evidence which gateway this microplankton used to connect Paratethys and the Mediterranean prior and after the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC). Such a gateway is also to be regarded at the origin of successive influxes of Paratethyan organisms (molluscs, ostracods, dinoflagellates) into the Mediterranean Basin ("Lago Mare" events). Observing that the I˙stanbul area, usually proposed for this purpose, was inefficient, we examine the succession of marine well-dated pre-MSC and post-MSC deltaic deposits through the Balkans, from northern Greece to southern Romania, that constitutes a reliable candidate for such a marine corridor, the origin of which was caused by the regional tectonic extension. The reconstructed palaeogeography for high sea level episodes that encompassed the MSC clarifies the context of the so-called North Aegean Lake. This marine gateway probably evolved as a powerful river during the peak of the MSC, contributing to the deposition of clastics in the hydrocarbon Prinos Field. A tectonically controlled subsidence to the north and south of the Skopje region caused the closure of such a gateway.

The sediments brought by several left tributaries of the Lower Danube, such as Cerna, Topolniţa, Jiu, Olt, Argeș, Ialomiţa and Siret were sampled close to their confluence. An overview of the rock provenance is presented, taking into account the identified mineralogical feature based on the mineralogical observations, two heavy mineral associations were identified, having, in general, a clearly provenance signature from lower to medium grade metamorphic units. Other sources of the sampled sediments are represented by the igneous bodies, high grade metamorphics, as well the sedimentary rocks of the external nappes from the Carpathian belt. Besides, the Carpathian surrounding platforms, such as Moesian and Moldavian ones, contribute to the sedimentary input of Danube River. Additional to the mineralogical data, geochemical analysis show a medium maturity grade of the sampled sediments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Galeacysta etrusca complex ,Paratethys– Mediterranean ,Messinian ,Zanclean ,“ Lago Mare” - Abstract
More than a thousand specimens of the Galeacysta etrusca taxonomical complex from eleven 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 statistically distinguished, 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: • the high sensitivity of Galeacysta etrusca complex for reconstructing paleoenvironments and the connection– isolation phases of basins ; • the detailed history of this species which originated in the Pannonian Basin at ca. 8 Ma before invading the Dacic Basin at about 6 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 5.48– 5.33 Ma, respectively) and, finally, into the Black Sea at 5.13 Ma ; • an improved paleogeographic reconstruction for the Mediterranean and Paratethyan realms with focus on the location of corridors and the timing of when they were active. Field observations and dinoflagellate cyst data lead us to consider that the reflooding of the Mediterranean Basin by Atlantic waters occurred at ca. 5.48 Ma, about 150 kyrs before the Zanclean GSSP (5.33 Ma).

Galeacysta etrusca complex ,Paratethys– Mediterranean ,Messinian ,Zanclean ,“ Lago Mare” - Abstract
Relationships between the Mediterranean and Paratethys have been debated for a long time (Senĕ s, 1973 ; Rögl and Steiniger, 1983 ; Kojumdgieva, 1987 ; Marinescu, 1992). High sealevel exchanges between these two seas are documented by the presence of: 1. marine organisms, especially calcareous nannoplankton (Mărunţeanu, 1992 ; Semenenko and Olejnik, 1995 ; Mărunţeanu and Papaianopol, 1995, 1998 ; Drivaliari et al., 1999 ; Snel et al., 2006) and marine dinoflagellate cysts (Popescu , 2006 ; Popescu et al., accepted ; Popescu and Süto-Szentai, unpublished data) in the Paratethys basins: 2. brackish endemic dinoflagellate cysts (Corradini and Biffi, 1988 ; Bertini, 1992, 2006 ; Popescu et al., 2007 ; Londeix et al., 2007), molluscs (dreissenids, lymnocardiids) and ostracods (Cyprideis pannonica group) (Cippolari et al., 1999 ; Gliozzi, 1999 ; Ghetti et al., 2002 ; Basseti et al., 2003, 2004 ; Esu et al., 2007) in the Mediterranean area, as constituents of “ Lago Mare” biofacies. Such connections are generally considered to have been reduced even interrupted in the Late Miocene, when the Mediterranean became temporarily isolated from the Atlantic Ocean. Isolation led to the Messinian Salinity Crisis, peaking with a severe drop in Mediterranean sea-level which resulted in the deposition of thick evaporites in central basins (Hsü et al., 1973 ; Rouchy and Caruso, 2006) and intense subaerial erosion of the margins (Clauzon, 1999). Two successive falls in sea-level (Clauzon et al., 1996) have been evidenced: 1. the first one, between 5.96-5.60 Ma, characterized by low amplitude, that caused the deposition of evaporites in the more-or-less isolated marginal basins and some erosion in the most proximal parts of river valleys ; 2. the second one, between 5.60 to 5.48 Ma characterized by high amplitude, that provoked the almost complete desiccation of the Mediterranean Sea and consequently evaporite deposition within central basins ; on the land a huge subaerial erosion is widely recorded as a consequence of river activity. Similar events (huge erosion) also impacted the Eastern Paratethys (Gillet et al., 2003, 2007 ; Clauzon et al., 2005) where evaporites were recently discovered (Clauzon et al., submitted). Different hypothesis concerning the gateway between Mediterranean and Paratethys were proposed, the most known concerned the “ proto-Bosporus” gateway (Hsü et al., 1973 ; Rögl and Steininger, 1983 ; Marinescu, 1992). The second possibility was trough the Balkans, an hypothesis proposed by Kojumdgieva (1987). The supposed “ proto Bosporus” gateway was tested by Popescu (2006), using the late arrival of marine dinoflagellate cysts at DSDP Site 380 in the Black Sea, that demonstrates the closure of this gateway in the earliest Zanclean. This evidence is also supported by (1) the huge erosional surface passing at the base of the Zanclean deposits in the same locality Gillet et al. (2007), (2) the reconstruction of a complex fluvial erosional network in the Dardanelles Strait and Marmara Sea area at the time of the desiccation of the Mediterranean (Clauzon et al., 2008). Using the presence of marine organisms and evidence of Gilbert-type delta fans, we demonstrate that the most probable gateway between the Mediterranean and Paratethys was trough the Balkans region (Clauzon et al., 2005, submitted ; Popescu et al., accepted). Most difficult to explain are the connections between the Paratethyan (Pannonian and Dacic) basins themselves because these two basins were already evolving towards brackish conditions before the Messinian Salinity Crisis. Previous hypotheses suggested that the corridor between the Pannonian and Dacic basins before the Messinian Salinity Crisis (i.e. at the Portaferrian) was located at the present-day Iron Gates (Archambault-Guézou, 1976 ; Marinescu, 1992). The discovery of the Messinian Erosional Surface below the Iron Gates (Clauzon et al., 2005 ; Leever, 2007) shows that this passage was cut by the proto-Danube River during the desiccation of the Mediterranean. As supported by dinoflagellate cyst records both in the Pannonian and Dacic basins, we propose a more reliable gateway in the area of the Timok Valley and Niš-Belgrade area at the Portaferrian (Popescu et al., accepted).
