contents The Messinian evaporitic succession recovered at ODP Sites 652, 653, and 654 in the Tyrrhenian Sea was generated under various environmental conditions which ranged from brackish to hypersaline, as deduced from the sedimentary facies and stable isotope compositions of the carbonate and sulfate deposits. Water in the basins had to be shallow to undergo such rapid and large geochemical variations. The marine influence was omnipresent in the basin at least during the deposition of sulfate evaporites; seawater or marine brines might have been supplied either by direct input into evaporitic lagoons as at Sites 653 and 654, or by subterraneous infiltration in marginal areas as at Site 652. Episodes of severe dilution by continental waters occurred frequently throughout Messinian times in the more basinal areas at Sites 653 and 654, while a fresh water body was standing permanently at Site 652. The high heat flow present at Site 652 was responsible for a major late authigenesis of iron-rich dolomites, which was initiated during the subsidence of the basin and ended before Pliocene.
