New research confirms that a massive flood event, known as the Zanclean Megaflood, rapidly refilled the Mediterranean Sea approximately 5.33 million years ago. Scientists have identified geological formations in Southeast Sicily that provide the most detailed evidence yet of the cataclysmic event that ended the Messinian Salinity Crisis and reshaped the region.
