摘要
Deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basins (DHABs) are extreme environments harbouring unique microbial assemblages. They have, however, rarely been identified in the geological record. Here, we investigate the potential use of organic biomarkers to detect former DHAB presence in the eastern Mediterranean during the Early Pliocene. Our findings suggest challenges in identifying DHABs in the geological record using biomarker records; this is due to pelagic organic matter overprinting the DHAB signals.
