On the basis of this comparison we propose that the Paratethys had a long-lived influence on the large-scale oceanographic circulation of the eastern Mediterranean, at least since the Tortonian (between 9.7 and 7.5 Ma); that is, well before the onset of the Messinian Lagomare event (∼5.5 Ma).
The integrated stratigraphy of coeval marine (Tortonian) and continental (Transdanubian) strata presented here suggests that mutual interaction and interdependence of climate subsystems ostensibly developed over the Mediterranean area and central-eastern Europe continent and were orbitally forced.
Long-eccentricity insolation forcing is hypothesized to have exerted a broad control on the freshwater budget of the brackish Pannonian Basin and the consequent oceanographic setting of the Mediterranean region.
The main reason for this option is that in that case the boundary closely coincides with the base of the Tortonian in the historical stratotype section of Rio Mazzapiedi.
From all candidate sections, Monte dei Corvi was considered the most suitable section for defining the Tortonian GSSP despite the lack of a reliable magnetostratigraphy and the often poor preservation of the calcareous plankton.
It was agreed upon that a proposal for the Tortonian GSSP wil be written by Silvia Iaccarino and Frits Hilgen before the end of 2002 and submitted early 2003.
