Coprolites were examined with thin sections, X-ray powder diffraction and computed tomography. Their surface is mostly smooth, desiccation cracks were not observed. All coprolites mainly consist of apatite, indicating most probably a carnivorous diet. No evidence of herbivory has been found so far. The coprolites contain remains belonging to several groups: ostracod carapaces, bivalve shells, vertebrae from bony fishes, fish scales, as well as teeth. The CT scans show inhomogeneities in the matrix; however, in most cases they do not reliably indicate inclusions. The taphonomical features suggest rapid burial and most likely an aquatic origin. The spiral morphotype could be attributed to fishes with spiral intestinal valves. Teeth of reef-associated fish taxa indicate Badenian age for some specimens, though the coprolite assemblage might include older and younger specimens as well.}, keywords = {Lake Pannon; Paratethys; Miocene; VERTEBRATE COPROLITES; coprolite taphonomy}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1029-2381}, orcid-numbers = {Sebe, Krisztina/0000-0002-4647-2199; Virág, Attila/0000-0002-5530-0065; Botfalvai, Gábor/0000-0002-5479-9036} } @article{MTMT:34402475, title = {Constraints on the pre-eruptive magma storage conditions and magma evolution of the 56–30 ka explosive volcanism of Ciomadul (East Carpathians, Romania)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34402475}, author = {Cserép, Barbara and Szemerédi, Máté and Harangi, Szabolcs and Erdmann, S and Bachmann, O and Dunkl, István and Seghedi, I and Mészáros, K and Kovács, Zoltán and Virág, Attila and Ntaflos, T and Schiller, D and Molnár, Kata and Haranginé Lukács, Réka}, doi = {10.1007/s00410-023-02075-z}, journal-iso = {CONTRIB MINERAL PETR}, journal = {CONTRIBUTIONS TO MINERALOGY AND PETROLOGY}, volume = {178}, unique-id = {34402475}, issn = {0010-7999}, abstract = {A detailed mineral-scale study was conducted on pumices of the latest, dominantly explosive eruption epoch (56–30 ka) of Ciomadul, the youngest, long-dormant volcano in eastern-central Europe for characterizing the magma storage system and for understanding better the changes in eruption style from effusive to explosive. The mineral cargo of dacitic pumices enables us to constrain the conditions of the pre-recharge crystal mush, the recharge magmas and the post-recharge magma prior to eruptions. A careful evaluation of the results yielded by various thermometers, barometers, oxybarometers, chemometers and hygrometers as well as direct comparison with experimental data were necessary to select the appropriate techniques and therefore to constrain the conditions for the Ciomadul magmatic system. Beneath the volcano, a felsic crystal mush body is inferred at 8–12 km depth comprising slightly oxidized (0.5–1.6 ∆NNO), low-temperature (680–750 °C), highly crystalline magma. This zone is underlain by a deep magma storage zone with less evolved, hot (> 900 °C) magma at 16–40 km depth. The dominantly explosive volcanism after the effusive eruptions (160–90 ka) can be explained by the ascent of distinct recharge magmas. They contained high-Mg (MgO > 18 wt%) amphibole, which could have crystallized from ultrahydrous (H 2 O > 8 wt%) magma at near-liquidus conditions. The rates of amphibole overgrowth and microphenocryst formation require weeks to months for the magma mixing and the eruption events. The hybridized melt became more oxidized and contained dissolved water in around 5.5 wt% at temperature of 790–830 °C calculated from the re-equilibrated Fe-Ti oxides. These magma properties along with the degree of crystallinity (27–38 vol% crystals) favored rapid magma ascent and an explosive style eruption. Thus, the strongly hydrous nature of the recharge magma in addition to the crystallinity and H 2 O content of the pre-eruption magma plays an important role in controlling the eruption style.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1432-0967}, orcid-numbers = {Szemerédi, Máté/0000-0002-7432-8418; Harangi, Szabolcs/0000-0003-2372-4581; Erdmann, S/0000-0002-1083-9251; Bachmann, O/0000-0003-2952-3465; Seghedi, I/0000-0001-7381-7802; Virág, Attila/0000-0002-5530-0065; Ntaflos, T/0000-0001-6665-5868; Molnár, Kata/0000-0001-6993-5806; Haranginé Lukács, Réka/0000-0002-2338-4209} } @{MTMT:34004354, title = {Kvarter}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34004354}, author = {Csillag, Gábor and Pazonyi, P. and Virág, Attila and Tóthné, Makk Á. and Sebe, Krisztina and Fodor, László and Ruszkiczay-Rüdiger, Zsófia and Harangi, Szabolcs and Sztanó, Orsolya and Kaiser, Miklós and Gyalog, László and Mindszenty, Andrea and Novothny, Ágnes and Horváth, Erzsébet and Újvári, Gábor and Bakacsi, Zsófia and Lantos, Zoltán}, booktitle = {Magyarország litosztratigráfiai egységeinek leírása II.}, unique-id = {34004354}, year = {2023}, pages = {143-166}, orcid-numbers = {Virág, Attila/0000-0002-5530-0065; Sebe, Krisztina/0000-0002-4647-2199; Harangi, Szabolcs/0000-0003-2372-4581; Sztanó, Orsolya/0000-0003-0786-3653; Horváth, Erzsébet/0000-0002-0197-4152} } @article{MTMT:33768817, title = {Potential of closed contour analysis for species differentiation and holotype designation: a case study on lower Norian (Upper Triassic) conodonts}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33768817}, author = {Virág, Attila and Karádi, Viktor}, doi = {10.1111/pala.12649}, journal-iso = {PALAEONTOLOGY}, journal = {PALAEONTOLOGY}, volume = {66}, unique-id = {33768817}, issn = {0031-0239}, abstract = {Geometric morphometric approaches become increasingly applied in the fields of biology and palaeontology. Taxonomy is a good example, where a long-standing intention of scientists is to eliminate subjectivity as much as possible. In the case of biostratigraphically important conodont elements, the application of such methods is not widespread. Only a handful of studies attempted to deal with the morphological variance of conodont elements from this aspect. The detailed description of five lower Norian (Upper Triassic) taxa (Ancyrogondolella quadrata, A. rigoi, A. triangularis, A. uniformis and Metapolygnathus mazzai) is presented here based on landmarks and Fourier analysis of the P1 element and keel outlines. Both methods led to similar outcomes regarding taxonomic differentiation and exposing shape variability. Consensus shapes were generated to objectively reveal the typical contour shape of each taxon, which allowed their comparison with each other, and with the members of their respective sample population including the holotypes. The results demonstrated that the holotype of a taxon is generally not an average representative, but rather a peripheral form with well separable morphological characteristics. Ancyrogondolella quadrata and A. rigoi turned out to represent a morphological continuum with ample transitional forms between these two end-members that may cause bias in their biostratigraphic applicability, however their combined shape variance seems to be too large for uniting them into a single species. Given the results that may be too subtle to realize based solely on qualitative observations, future taxonomic studies and type material designation could greatly benefit from the application of similar methodologies.}, keywords = {Fourier Analysis; principal component analysis; Upper Triassic; Conodont; landmark analysis; consensus shape}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1475-4983}, orcid-numbers = {Virág, Attila/0000-0002-5530-0065; Karádi, Viktor/0000-0002-5923-2944} } @{MTMT:33111922, title = {Magmás környezetek a Csomád 56‒32 ezer éves horzsakövei alapján}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33111922}, author = {Cserép, Barbara and Szemerédi, Máté and Haranginé Lukács, Réka and Erdmann, S and Bachmann, O and Dunkl, I and Seghedi, I and Mészáros, K and Kovács, Zoltán and Virág, Attila and Ntaflos, T and Harangi, Szabolcs}, booktitle = {Calce et malleo – Mésszel és kalapáccsal}, unique-id = {33111922}, year = {2022}, pages = {29-29}, orcid-numbers = {Szemerédi, Máté/0000-0002-7432-8418; Haranginé Lukács, Réka/0000-0002-2338-4209; Harangi, Szabolcs/0000-0003-2372-4581} } @book{MTMT:32900662, title = {25.

In East-Central (EC) Europe, groups of Palaeolithic humans were present throughout the last glacial maximum, but disappeared suddenly around 15,200 cal BP. In this study cave sediment profiles dated using radiocarbon techniques and a large set of mammal bones dated directly by AMS 14C were used to determine local extinction times. These were, in turn, compared to changes in the total megafauna population of EC Europe derived from coprophilous fungi, the Epigravettian population decline, quantitative climate models, pollen and plant macrofossil inferred climate, as well as to biome reconstructions. The results suggest that the population size of large herbivores decreased in the area after 17,700 cal BP, when temperate tree abundance and warm continental steppe cover both increased in the lowlands. Boreal forest expansion started around 16,200 cal BP. Cave sediments show the decline of narrow-headed vole and arctic lemming populations specifically associated with a tundra environment at the same time and the expansion of the common vole, an inhabitant of steppes. The last dated appearance of arctic lemming was at ~ 16,640 cal BP, while that of the narrow-headed vole at ~ 13,340, and the estimated extinction time of woolly mammoth was either at 13,830 (GRIWM) or 15,210 (PHASE), and reindeer at 11,860 (GRIWM) or 12,550 cal BP (PHASE). The population decline of the large herbivore fauna slightly preceded changes in terrestrial vegetation, and likely facilitated it via a reduction in the intensity of grazing and the concomitant accumulation of plant biomass. Furthermore, it is possible to conclude that the Late Epigravettian population had high degree of quarry-fidelity; they left the basin when these mammals vanished.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2045-2322}, orcid-numbers = {Magyari, Enikő Katalin/0000-0002-2844-8937; Major, István/0000-0003-4675-9875; Lengyel, György/0000-0002-7803-3043; Virág, Attila/0000-0002-5530-0065; Korponai, János/0000-0003-0211-192X} } @misc{MTMT:32245959, title = {Mammal Extinction Facilitated Biome Shift and Human Population Change During the Last Glacial Termination in East-Central Europe}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32245959}, author = {Magyari, Enikő Katalin and Gasparik, Mihály and Major, István and Lengyel, György and Pál, Ilona and Virág, Attila and Korponai, János and Szabó, Zoltán and Pazonyi, Piroska}, doi = {10.21203/rs.3.rs-778658/v1}, unique-id = {32245959}, year = {2021}, pages = {1-27}, orcid-numbers = {Magyari, Enikő Katalin/0000-0002-2844-8937; Major, István/0000-0003-4675-9875; Virág, Attila/0000-0002-5530-0065; Korponai, János/0000-0003-0211-192X} } @article{MTMT:31818441, title = {Wearing down the constraints of low magnification tooth microwear analysis: reproducibility and variability of results based on extant ungulates.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31818441}, author = {Szabó, Bence and Virág, Attila}, doi = {10.1007/s12542-020-00539-2}, journal-iso = {PALAEONTOL Z}, journal = {PALAEONTOLOGISCHE ZEITSCHRIFT}, volume = {95}, unique-id = {31818441}, issn = {0031-0220}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1867-6812}, pages = {515-529}, orcid-numbers = {Virág, Attila/0000-0002-5530-0065} }
