Figure 1. The synchronous and diachronous scenarios for the deposition of the Messinian
evaporites.
According to the synchronous scenario, phase 1 corresponds to a limited sea-level fall and
rise leading to evaporite deposition in the peripheral basins. Phase 2 (i.e. the peak of the
MSC) is characterised by a huge sea level drop, evaporite deposition in the central basins, and
subaerial erosion of the margins.
According to the diachronous scenarios, evaporites in the central basins were deposited
during minimum sea level (phase 2) and after the deposition of evaporites in the peripheral
basins (phase 1).
