Widespread evaporites were deposited in large parts of the Central Paratethys during the so-called Badenian Salinity Crisis (BSC). The adverse environmental conditions that accompanied the BSC triggered a demise in the basin's marine fauna, inducing the so-called middle-Badenian-extinction-event. While tectonic activity preconditioned the Central Paratethys for isolation, it has recently
