Desiccation of the Red Sea basin at the start of the Messinian salinity crisis was followed by major erosion and reflooding from the Indian Ocean
Abstract The extent of desiccation in deep enclosed basins has been debated for over 50 years. Here we combine seismic, biostratigraphic, and strontium isotope data to document a deep desiccation event across the Red Sea basin that ended 6.2 million years ago. This event exposed the seafloor to eros...
