    Late Miocene Euphrates River Drained Into A Partially Desiccated Eastern Mediterranean

    [the paleogeographic reconstruction is outstanding, including the strength and information conveyed so well in that figure, kudos!]
    H/T @lina Jakaitė-Darkšė
    “Although the Euphrates River - stretching ~3,000 km across Western Asia - has shaped the region’s geology for millions of years, the timing of its origin and the evolution of its course remain enigmatic. So far, two contrasting hypotheses have been proposed to explain the fluvial system’s Late Neogene path: termination in Anatolia at a palaeo-lake or the Mediterranean, or a southeastward continuation to Arabia. Here [they] use seismic-reflection and topographic data to show that two previously identified sedimentary accumulations - deposited during the terminal phase of the Late Miocene Messinian salinity crisis - resulted from dual riverine systems that drained into a partially desiccated eastern Mediterranean before avulsing toward the Persian Gulf and converging to form the modern Euphrates River. From probabilistic sediment-budget modelling, [they] show that although the latest Messinian drainage basins were an order of magnitude smaller than their present-day extents, the total palaeo-discharge exceeded that of the modern Tigris, Euphrates and Nile rivers combined, indicating intense palaeo-precipitation and high palaeo-relief. These results suggest that plate-margin deformation both controlled the fluvial avulsions that diverted the Euphrates River from the Anatolian–Eurasian Plate to the Arabian Plate, and established the conditions necessary for the development of the alluvial Fertile Crescent…”

    Dip-slip fault (Geology ⛰️)

    In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements. Large faults within Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as the megathrust f...

    [theories abound]
    "... KEY POINTS
    • Employing time dependent global mantle convection models since the Cretaceous. [the authors] simulate the origin of the enigmatic Indian Ocean geoid low
    • Plumes forming along the edges of the African Large Low Shear Velocity province (LLSVP) control the regional geoid in the Indian Ocean
    • These plumes, in turn are generated by lower mantle Tethyan slabs that perturb the African LLSVP…”

    Mélange (Petrology 💎)

    In geology, a mélange is a large-scale breccia, a mappable body of rock characterized by a lack of continuous bedding and the inclusion of fragments of rock of all sizes, contained in a fine-grained deformed matrix. The mélange typically consists of a jumble of large blocks of varied lithologies. Both tectonic and sedimentary processes can form mélange. Mélange occurrences are associated with...
