Funding

We thank Ulrich Treffert for help in the organic geochemistry laboratory and Jens Fiebig for support in the Goethe University-Senckenberg BiK-F Stable Isotope Facility . This research was financed by the Greek-German collaboration project (IKYDA-DAAD): “Quantification of the environmental changes in the Eastern Mediterranean at the onset of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (Crete-Greece)” (QUANTMES) of IV and VK. Collaboration was made possible through the COST Action CA15103 “Uncovering the Mediterranean salt giant” (MEDSALT) supported by COST ( European Cooperation in Science and Technology ). Analyses were supported by the DFG grant number 398614017 of IV. GAB transmits special thanks to Ronald van Bommel, Monique Verweij and Jort Ossebaar from NIOZ for help in the stable isotope laboratory.
