These controlling factors are together responsible for the eruption style, distribution pattern, volcanic facies architecture and morphology of the monogenetic volcanic landforms. The Late Miocene to Pleistocene Bakony-Balaton Highland Volcanic Field (BBHVF) in western Hungary is a typical small sized (< 50 eruption centres), basaltic, intraplate "monogenetic" volcanic field. Generally, initial eruptions of the BBHVF were phreatomagmatic (n = ~. 28); however, a lesser number (n = ~. 14) of predominantly scoria cone forming eruptions are also inferred. The temporal distribution of the Strombolian style scoria cones was concentrated mostly between 3 and 2.5. Ma. A detailed study of the changes in eruption styles recorded in the pyroclastic sequences suggested a change from a conventional phreatomagmatic to a magmatic fragmentation style during the activity of the volcanic field. A clear correlation has been identified between the long-term environmental changes of the region that resulted in a gradual shift from a more phreatomagmatic eruption style to a more magmatic eruption style. Detailed examination of the temporal distribution of K-Ar and Ar-Ar radiometric data, Digital Elevation Model and Dense Rock Equivalent-based volume calculations of eruptive products and origin of pyroclastic rocks (e.g. phreatomagmatic or magmatic) preserved in variously eroded monogenetic volcanoes were utilized to integrate available volcanological and climatological data to identify potential links between external and internal controlling parameters that responsible for long-term eruption style changes. At least 6 volcanic cycles have been identified by cluster analysis. Time gap between the cycles were vary from 1.66 up to 0.06Ma, while the average eruption recurrence rate was ~0.1078Ma/event. The time-volume diagram of the volcanism of BBHVF have shown time-predictive behavior combined with low magma-flux (total preserved volume ~2.867km3) and output rates (0.53km3/Ma for the entire volcanic field and 0.90km3/Ma for the last 5cycles), suggesting that volcanism was largely tectonically-controlled and not magmatically-controlled.Furthermore, the topographic differences between the northern ("elevated") and southern ("basin-like") parts of the volcanic field, are also important in local differences in dominant fragmentation style, because the elevated part of the field was prone to host large, more magmatically-evolved volcanoes, than on the lower, water-saturated, unconsolidated sediments, which favored to the magma/water interaction driven phreatomagmatic fragmentation. The third controlling parameter, which seems to play an important role in controlling the eruptive style of monogenetic volcanism at BBHVF, was the paleoclimate fluctuation, especially during the time interval of 3.0 to 2.5. Ma. Thus, mainly the long-term environmental changes (e.g. aridification) have been response the shifting fragmentation style from phreatomagmatic to more magmatic ones. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.}, keywords = {FRAGMENTATION; topography; phreatomagmatic; Tectonically-controlled; Magmatic flux; Magmatic; Climatic change; Earth, Cosmic and Environm.

Based on the distinguished 13 individual volcanic facies, we infer that the eruption history of Bondoró contained several stages including initial phreatomagmatic eruptions, Strombolian-type scoria cones forming as well as effusive phases. The existing and newly obtained K-Ar radiometric data have confirmed that the entire formation of the Bondoró volcano finished at about 2.3 Ma ago, and the time of its onset cannot be older than 3.8 Ma. Still K-Ar ages on neighbouring formations (e.g. Kab-hegy, Agár-teto) do not exclude a long-lasting eruptive period with multiple eruptions and potential rejuvenation of volcanic activity in the same place indicating stable melt production beneath this location. The prolonged volcanic activity and the complex volcanic facies architecture of Bondoró suggest that this volcano is a polycyclic volcano, composed of at least two monogenetic volcanoes formed more or less in the same place, each erupted through distinct, but short lived eruption episodes. The total estimated eruption volume, the volcanic facies characteristics and geomorphology also suggests that Bondoró is rather a small-volume polycyclic basaltic volcano than a polygenetic one and can be interpreted as a nested monogenetic volcanic complex with multiple eruption episodes.

Polycyclic monogenetic volcanic complexes are also common in each field however. The original morphology of volcanic landforms, especially phreatomagmatic volcanoes, is commonly modified. by erosion, commonly aided by tectonic uplift. The phreatomagmatic volcanoes eroded to the level of their sub-surface architecture expose crater to conduit filling as well as diatreme facies of pyroclastic rock assemblages. Uncertainties due to the strong erosion influenced by tectonic uplifts, fast and broad climatic changes, vegetation cover variations, and rapidly changing fluvio-lacustrine events in the past 8 million years in the Pannonian Basin have created a need to reconstruct and visualise the paleoenvironment into which the monogenetic volcanoes erupted. Here phreatomagmatic volcanic fields of the Miocene to Pleistocene western Hungarian alkali basaltic province have been selected and compared with modern phreatomagmatic fields. It has been concluded that the Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF) in New Zealand could be viewed as a prime modern analogue for the western Hungarian phreatomagmatic fields by sharing similarities in their pyroclastic successions textures such as pyroclast morphology, type, juvenile particle ratio to accidental lithics.

Whereas the eruption duration of an individual volcano of a volcanic field is generally short, the life of the entire volcanic fi eld is longer than that of a composite volcano (e.g., stratovolcano). The magmatic output of an individual center in a volcanic field is 1–3 orders of magnitude less than that of a composite volcano, although the total field may be of the same volume as a composite volcano in any composition. These features suggest that the magma source feeding both monogenetic volcanic fields and composite volcanoes are in the same range. Monogenetic volcanic fields therefore are an important and enigmatic manifestation of magmatism at the Earth’s surface. The long eruption duration for an entire volcanic fi eld makes this type of volcanism important for understanding sedimentary basin evolution. Accumulated eruptive products may not be significant from a single volcano, but the collective field may contribute significant sediment to a basin. The eruptive history of volcanic fi elds may span millions of years, during which dramatic climatic and paleoenvironmental changes can take place. Through systematic study of individual volcanoes in a field, detailed paleoenvironmental reconstructions can be made as well as paleogeographic evaluations and erosion-rate estimates. Monogenetic volcanoes are typically considered to erupt only once and to be short-lived; recent studies, however, demonstrate that the general architecture of a monogenetic volcano can be very complex and exhibit longer eruption durations than expected. In this way, monogenetic volcanic fi elds should be viewed as a complex, longlasting volcanism that in many respects carries the basic characteristics similar to those known from composite volcanoes.}, year = {2010}, pages = {43-66} } @article{MTMT:1392155, title = {Note on the evolution of a Miocene composite volcano in an extensional setting, Zĝrand Basin (Apuseni Mts., Romania)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1392155}, author = {Seghedi, I and Szakács, A and Roşu, E and Pécskay, Zoltán and Gméling, Katalin}, doi = {10.2478/v10085-010-0021-8}, journal-iso = {CENT EUR J GEOSCI}, journal = {CENTRAL EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF GEOSCIENCES}, volume = {2}, unique-id = {1392155}, issn = {2081-9900}, abstract = {Bontĝu is a major eroded composite volcano filling the Miocene Zĝrand extensional basin, near the junction between the Codru-Moma and Highiş-Drocea Mountains, at the tectonic boundary between the South and North Apuseni Mountains. It is a quasi-symmetric structure (16-18 km in diameter) centered on an eroded vent area (9×4 km), buttressed to the south against Mesozoic ophiolites and sedimentary deposits of the South Apuseni Mountains. The volcano was built up in two sub-aerial phases (14-12.5 Ma and 11-10 Ma) from successive eruptions of andesite lava and pyroclastic rocks with a time-increasing volatile budget. The initial phase was dominated by emplacement of pyroxene andesite and resulted in scattered individual volcanic lava domes associated marginally with lava flows and/or pyroclastic block-and-ash flows. The second phase is characterized by amphibole-pyroxene andesite as a succession of pyroclastic eruptions (varying from strombolian to subplinian type) and extrusion of volcanic domes that resulted in the formation of a central vent area. Numerous debris flow deposits accumulated at the periphery of primary pyroclastic deposits. Several intrusive andesitic-dioritic bodies and associated hydrothermal and mineralization processes are known in the volcano vent complex area. Distal epiclastic deposits initially as gravity mass flows and then as alluvial volcaniclastic and terrestrial detritic and coal filled the basin around the volcano in its western and eastern part.Chemical analyses show that lavas are calc-alkaline andesites with SiO2 ranging from 56-61%. The petrographical differences between the two stages are an increase in amphibole content at the expense of two pyroxenes (augite and hypersthene) in the second stage of eruption; CaO and MgO contents decrease with increasing SiO2. In spite of a ~4 Ma evolution, the compositions of calc-alkaline lavas suggest similar fractionation processes.

This status is a function of the inherent complexity of the fragmentation, transport and depositional processes that operate in volcanically-impacted environments and the comparatively recent development of the discipline as a specialist area. Volcaniclastic studies are truly interdisciplinary, drawing on many elements of physical volcanology, fluid dynamics, classical clastic sedimentology, hydrology and geomorphology. In the past 30 years volcaniclastic studies have blossomed, partly in response to a number of catastrophic and high-pro. le volcanic eruptions, including Mount St. Helens in 1981, Nevado del Ruiz in 1985 and Pinatubo in 1991, and partly due to integration with the maturing science of fluid dynamics and an increased understanding of the behaviour of particulate dispersions and two-phase granular flows. These historical events have demonstrated that the sedimentary repercussions of volcanic eruptions can have more severe, far-reaching, and prolonged impacts than the initial volcanism. In parallel, studies of well-preserved examples from the geological record have extended our understanding of landscape and environmental responses to styles and scales of volcanism that have not been recorded historically, such as the impacts of caldera-forming eruptions from silicic calderas. As a consequence, studies have expanded beyond classical stratigraphic and sedimentological studies of ancient successions in a variety of plate tectonic settings to a more dynamic focus on process. Ultimately, volcaniclastic successions are the product of the interplay between the volcano, in terms of the style, magnitude and explosivity of the eruption, and the environment, as expressed by physiography, hydrology, energy, and accommodation space.

Tephra deposits produced by phreatomagmatic eruptions are particularly well exposed in the walls of the Snake River canyon, where thick accumulations of pyroclastic rocks indicate widespread phreatomagmatic eruptive events throughout most of the volcanic history of the region. Previously, many of the phreatomagmatic deposits were considered to be the products of subaqueous eruptions that took place on the floor of one or more large freshwater intra-continental lakes. Recent field based observations confirm the presence of widespread phreatomagmatic pyroclastic rocks; however, some that had been interpreted as being subaqueous exhibit textural features that are more consistent with subaerial depositional environments. Intrusive and extrusive magmatic bodies with features associated with peperite formation have also been identified. Most of these peperites can be attributed to magma-sediment mixing in intra-crater/conduit or vent settings, and therefore they can only be used as widespread paleoenvironmental indicators with limitations to demonstrate magma and surface water (e.g. lake) non-explosive interaction. One of the studied sites ("71 Gulch Volcano") was previously used to indicate the presence of a shallow lake. At this site there is clear field evidence that peperitic feeder dykes contacted muddy, sandy siliciclastic sediments forming globular peperite. The peperitic feeder dykes transition to pillowed, ponded lava up section. The ponded lavas are partially surrounded by a similar to 5-m-thick unit composed of gently dipping, dune bedded, volcanic glass shard-rich, unsorted. tuff and lapilli tuff containing abundant impact sags caused by volcanic lithics. We suggest that the 3D architecture of the erosional remnant of "71 Gulch Volcano" does not require the presence of a lake at the time of its formation; it is equally possible that that it represents a subaerial phreatomagmatic upper conduit - crater filling succession. This interpretation opens up many questions about the Mio/Pliocene evolution of SW Idaho, the timing of the volcanism, and its association with the evolution of the lacustrine systems in the region. In addition, re-evaluations of the volcanic features in SW Idaho have some general implications for the usage of phreatomagmatic pyroclastic rocks for paleoenvironmental reconstruction.

Beside the scoria cones in the Llancanelo Field, at least six volcanoes show evidence for explosive eruptions involving magma-water interaction. These are unusual in the context of the semi-arid climate of the eastern Andean ranges. The volcanic structures consist of phreatomagmatic-derived tuff rings and tuff cones of olivine basalt composition. Malacara and Jarilloso tuff cones were produced by fallout of a range of dry to wet tephra. The Malacara cone shows more evidence for a predominance of wet-emplaced units, with a steep slump-slope characterized by many soft-sediment deformation structures, such as: undulating bedding planes, truncated beds and water escape features. The Piedras Blancas and Carapacho tuff rings resulted from explosive eruptions with deeper explosion loci. These cones are hence dominated by lapilli tuff and tuff units, emplaced mainly by wet and/or dry pyroclastic surges. Carapacho is the only centre that appears to have started with phreatomagmatic eruptions, with lowermost tephra being rich in non-volcanic country rocks. The presence of deformed beds with impact sags, slumping textures, asymmetrical ripples, dunes, cross- and planar lamination, syn-volcanic faulting and accretionary lapilli beds indicate an eruption scenario dominated by excessive water in the transportational and depositional regime. This subordinate phreatomagmatism in the Llancanelo Volcanic Field suggests presence of ground and/or shallow surface water during some of the eruptions. Each of the tuff rings and cones are underlain by thick, fractured multiple older lava units. These broken basalts are inferred to be the horizons where rising magma interacted with groundwater.

The eruption of at least four very closely clustered maar volcanoes into two clearly distinct types of prevolcanic rocks allows the observation and comparison of hard-substrate and soft-substrate maars in one volcanic complex. The analyses of bedding features, determination of the proportion of accidental lithic clasts, granulometry and age determination helped to identify and distinguish the two types of maar volcanoes. Ascending magma interacted with meteoric water in karst aquifers in Mesozoic carbonates, as well as in porous media aquifers in Neogene unconsolidated, wet, siliciclastic sediments. The divided basement setting is reflected by distinct bedding characteristics and morphological features of the individual volcanic edifices as well as a distinct composition of pyroclastic rocks. Country rocks in hard-substrate maars have a steep angle of repose, leading to the formation of steep sided cone-shaped diatremes. Enlargement and filling of these diatreme is mainly a result of shattering material by FCI related shock waves and wall-rock collapse during downward penetration of the explosion locus. Country rocks in soft-substrate maars have much shallower angles of repose, leading to the formation of broad, bowl shaped structures or irregular depressions. Enlargement and filling of these diatremes is mainly the result of substrate collapse, for example due to liquefaction of unconsolidated material by FCI-related shock waves, and its emplacement by gravity flows. The Fekete-hegy is an important example illustrating that the substrate of a volcanic edifice has to be taken into account as an important interface, which can have major control on phreatomagmatic eruptions and the resulting characteristics of the volcanic complex. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Using the spatial and temporal distribution of the magmatic rocks, their major-and traceelement features, and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope characteristics, we suggest that lithospheric extension in the Pannonian Basin had a major role in the generation of the magmas. Dehydration of subducting slab should have resulted in thorough metasomatism in the mantle wedge during Cretaceous to early Miocene that would have lowered the melting temperature, therefore playing an indirect role in the generation of magmas later on. Mixing between mantle-derived magmas and lower-crustal melts was an important process at the first stage of the silicic and calc-alkaline magmatism in the Northern Pannonian Basin. However, the crustal component gradually decreased with time, which is consistent with magmatic activity in a continuously thinning continental plate. Calc-alkaline volcanism along the Eastern Carpathians was mostly postcollisional and could have been related to slab break-off processes. However, the fairly young (<1.5 Ma) potassic magmatism at the southeasternmost segment of the Carpathian volcanic arc could be explained by lithospheric delamination under the Vrancea zone. Alkaline basaltic volcanism began at the end of rifting of the Pannonian Basin (11 Ma) and continued until recently. We suggest that a mantle plume beneath the Pannonian Basin is highly unlikely and the mafic magmas were formed by small degree partial melting in a heterogeneous asthenospheric mantle, which has been close to the solidus temperature due to the lithospheric extension in the Miocene. Magmatism appears to have been in a waning phase for the last 2 m.y., but recent volcanic eruptions (<200 k.y.) indicate that future volcanic activity cannot be unambiguously ruled out. © 2007 Geological Society of America.

Our summary suggests that Paleogene-early Miocene igneous rocks of all these areas were formed along a single, subduction-related magmatic arc. The study also highlights orthopyroxene-rich websterite mantle xenoliths from west Hungary and east Serbia that were formed in the vicinity of a subducted slab. We discuss the location and polarity of all potential subduction zones of the area that may account for the igneous rocks and orthopyroxene-rich mantle rocks. However, results of seismic tomography on subducted slabs beneath the studied area combined with geological data demonstrate that igneous rocks and mantle rocks cannot be explained by the same subduction process. We propose that the Paleogene-early Miocene arc was mainly generated by the Budva-Pindos subduction zone, subordinately by Penninic subduction, whereas mantle rocks were possibly formed in the vicinity of the older Vardar subduction zone. Continental blocks possibly moved together with their mantle lithosphere.

Peperite is more common in the Pannonian Basin than generally realised and may be also important in other settings where sediment sequences accumulate during active volcanism. Hajagos-hegy, an erosional remnant of a maar volcano, was subsequently occupied by a lava lake that interacted with unconsolidated sediments in the maar basin and formed both blocky and globular peperite. Similar peperite developed in Kissomlyo, a small tuff ring remnant, where dykes invaded lake sediments that formed within a tuff ring. Lava foot peperite from both Hajagos-hegy and Kissomlyo were formed when small lava flows travelled over wet sediments in craters of phreatomagmatic volcanoes. At Sag-hegy, a large phreatomagmatic volcanic complex, peperite formed along the margin of a coherent intrusion. All peperite in this study could be described as globular or blocky peperite.

The erosion level of these volcanoes is deep enough to expose diatreme zones associated with the phreatomagmatic volcanoes. The erosion level is deeper yet in the west, exposing shallow dyke and sill swarms related to former intra-plate volcanoes. The basanitic sills are irregular in shape and their lateral extent is highly variable. Individual sills reach a thickness of a few tens of metres and they commonly form dome-like structures with rosette-like radial columnar joint patterns. The largest sill system identified in this region is traceable over kilometres, and forms a characteristic ridge running north-east to southwest. Elevation differences in the position of the basanitic sills within an otherwise undisturbed "layer cake-like" siliciclastic succession indicate emplacement of the basanite magma at multiple levels over kilometre-scale distances. The margins of sills in the system are irregular at a dm-to-mm-scale. Undulating contacts of the sills together with gentle thermal alteration in the host sediment over cm-to-dm distances indicate the soft, but not necessarily wet state of the host deposits at the time sills were intruded. Parts of the sill complex show a complicated relationship with the host sediment in form of peperitic zones and irregularly shaped, disrupted, peperite textures. This is interpreted to reflect inhomogenities in water content and rheology of the siliciclastic deposits during intrusion. The current summit of the longest continuous ridge preserves a small diatreme that seems to cut through an otherwise disk-like sill indicating of relationship between sill emplacement and phreatomagmatic explosive eruptions.

High resolution Ar-40/ Ar-39 plateau ages on 18 samples have been obtained to determine the age range for the western Pannonian Basin Neogene intracontinental volcanic province. The new Ar-40/Ar-39 age determinations confirm the previously obtained K/Ar ages in the sense that no systematic biases were found between the two data sets. However, our study also serves to illustrate the inherent advantages of the Ar-40/Ar-39 technique: greater analytical precision, and internal tests for reliability of the obtained results provide more stringent constraints on reconstructions of the magmatic evolution of the volcanic field. Periods of increased activity with multiple eruptions occurred at ca. 7.95 Ma, 4.10 Ma, 3.80 Ma and 3.00 Ma. These new results more precisely date remnants of lava lakes or flows that define geomorphological marker horizons, for which the age is significant for interpreting the erosion history of the landscape. The results also demonstrate that during short periods of more intense activity not only were new centers formed but pre-existing centers were rejuvenated.

Characteristic features of this area include arcuate orogenic belts and extensional basins, both of which can be explained by roll-back of subducted slabs and retreating subduction zones. After cessation of active subduction, slab detachment and post-collisional gravitational collapse of the overthickened lithosphere took place. This complex tectonic history was accompanied by the generation of a wide variety of magmas. Most of these magmas (e.g. low-K tholeiitic, calc-alkaline, shoshonitic and ultrapotassic types) have trace element and isotopic fingerprints that are commonly interpreted to reflect enrichment of their source regions by subduction-related fluids. Thus, they can be considered as 'subduction-related' magmas irrespective of their geodynamic relationships. Intraplate alkali basalts are also found in the region and generally postdated the 'subduction-related' volcanism. These mantle-derived magmas have not (or only slightly) been influenced by subduction-related enrichment. This paper summarizes the geodynamic setting of the Tertiary-Quaternary 'subduction-related' magmatism in the various segments of the Alpine-Mediterranean region (Betic-Alboran-Rif province, Central Mediterranean, the Alps, Carpathian-Pannonian region, Dinarides and Hellenides, Aegean and Western Anatolia), and discusses the main characteristics and compositional variation of the magmatic rocks. Radiogenic and stable isotope data indicate the importance of continental crustal material in the genesis of these magmas. Interaction with crustal material probably occurred both in the upper mantle during subduction ('source contamination') and in the continental crust during ascent of mantle-derived magmas (either by mixing with crustal melts or by crustal contamination). The 87Sr/86Sr and 206Pb/204Pb isotope ratios indicate that an enriched mantle component, akin to the source of intraplate alkali mafic magmas along the Alpine foreland, played a key role in the petrogenesis of the 'subduction-related' magmas of the Alpine-Mediterranean region. This enriched mantle component could be related to mantle plumes or to long-term pollution (deflection of the central Atlantic plume and recycling of crustal material during subduction) of the shallow mantle beneath Europe since the late Mesozoic. In the first case, subduction processes could have had an influence in generating asthenospheric flow by deflecting nearby mantle plumes as a result of slab roll-back or slab break-off. In the second case, the variation in the chemical composition of the volcanic rocks in the Mediterranean region can be explained by 'statistical sampling' of the strongly inhomogeneous mantle followed by variable degrees of crustal contamination.}, year = {2006}, pages = {167-190}, orcid-numbers = {Harangi, Szabolcs/0000-0003-2372-4581} } @article{MTMT:2176402, title = {Formation and deformation of the Pannonian Basin: Constraints from observational data}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2176402}, isbn = {1862392129}, author = {Horváth, Ferenc and Bada, G and Szafián, P and Tari, Gábor and Ádám, A and Cloetingh, S}, doi = {10.1144/GSL.MEM.2006.032.01.11}, journal-iso = {MEM GEOL SOC LOND}, journal = {MEMOIRS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON}, volume = {32}, unique-id = {2176402}, issn = {0435-4052}, abstract = {The past decade has witnessed spectacular progress in the collection of observational data and their interpretation in the Pannonian Basin and the surrounding Alpine, Carpathian and Dinaric mountain belts.

According to combined palaeogeographical data and erosion rate calculations, the drainage pattern in the Danube Bend region was formed when Pleistocene tectonic movements resulted in river incision and sedimentary cover removal. Formation of the present curvature of the river was due to the exhumation of the horseshoe-shaped caldera as well as the surrounding resistant volcaniclastic successions (i.e. Visegrad Castle Hill) and a hilltop lava dome (Szent Mihaly Hill). The process accelerated and the present narrow gorge of the Danube Bend was formed by very rapid, as young as late Quaternary differential tectonic uplift, also enhancing the original volcanic morphology.

The Neogene volcanic field near Volcan Ceboruco in the San Pedro-Ceboruco graben, Mexico includes fissure fed flows, domes, and monogenetic scoria cones. The scoria cones near Ceboruco consist of normal (proximal) to inverse (distal) graded welded and/or non-welded scoria lapilli and coarse ash. The grain size pattern observed from scoria cones at Ceboruco is not consistent with the classic ballistic model of cone growth. Instead it is more consistent with recently proposed model where cones grow by accumulation of clasts falling from a sustained eruption column. Al Haruj a Miocene to Holocene intracontinental basaltic volcanic field in Libya preserves pyroclastic rocks indicating hot emplacement from eruptions of scoria cones and lava fountains. However, craters are commonly wide and surrounded by rims of strongly welded tephra, they closely resemble maar-structures.

On the basis of spatial distribution, relationship to tectonic processes and their chemical composition, the volcanic formations can be divided into: (1) areally distributed felsic talc-alkaline formations related to the initial stages of back-arc extension, (2) areally distributed intermediate calc-alkaline formations related to advanced stages of back-arc extension, (3) "arc-type" andesite volcanic formations with a complex relationship to subduction processes, and (4) alkali basaltic magmatism related to post-convergence extension. Petrological data and geotectonic reconstructions, which involve these magmatic groups, place significant constraints on geodynamic models of the Carpathian-Pannonian area. Subduction and back-arc extension were not contemporaneous across the whole Carpathian arc and intra-Carpathian area. Instead, three major geographical segments can be defined (Western, Central, Eastern segments) with a progressively younger timing of subduction roll-back and back-arc extension: 21-11 Ma, 16-9 Ma, 14-0 Ma, respectively. Short-lived subduction-related volcanic activity can be interpreted as either an indication of a limited width of subducted crust (not greater than 200 km) or an indication of detachment of the sinking slab. Interpretation of the areally distributed felsic and intermediate calc-alkaline volcanic formations are considered as being initiated by back-arc extension induced by diapiric uprise of "fertile" asthenospheric material.}, year = {2006}, eissn = {1336-8052}, pages = {511-530}, orcid-numbers = {Márton Péterné Szalay, Emőke/0000-0002-2135-8867} } @article{MTMT:1384548, title = {Evidence for the neogene small-volume intracontinental. volcanism in western hungary: K/Ar geochronology of the Tihany Maar volcanic complex}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1384548}, author = {Balogh, Kadosa and Németh, Károly}, journal-iso = {GEOL CARPATH}, journal = {GEOLOGICA CARPATHICA}, volume = {56}, unique-id = {1384548}, issn = {1335-0552}, abstract = {The Tihany Maar Volcanic Complex (TMVC) consists of several eruptive centres and is made up mostly of pyroclastic rocks. It belongs to the Bakony-Balaton Highland Volcanic Field (BBHVF), which is an extensive Late Miocene-Pliocene alkaline basaltic volcanic field in Western Hungary. The TMVC is the only known location in the BBHVF where volcanic rocks are in a stratigraphically fixed position near the boundary of the Congeria balatonica-Prosodacnomya Zones. Since 1985 this stratigraphic importance motivated repeated efforts to obtain unquestionable radiometric data with sufficient accuracy for the volcanic phases. Due to the difficulties of dating basaltic pyroclastic rocks (detrital contamination, excess argon, argon loss during hydrothermal alteration, high atmospheric argon content, etc.), this is for the first time a fully acceptable age of 7.92 +/- 0.22 Ma has been obtained for the onset of volcanic activity of the TMVC at the location Monk's cave. This age is a key datum for the boundary of Congeria balatonica-Prosodacnomya Zones and it agrees well with the start of alkali basaltic volcanic activity in Central Slovakia. 7.35 +/- 0.45 Ma is obtained for Diosteto. The youngest ages, showing the greatest argon loss were measured for the location Godros. An analysis of the isochron diagrams suggests here an interval from 6.24 +/- 0.73 Ma to 5.92 +/- 0.41 Ma for the time of volcanic activity. This age sequence is in agreement with volcanological field observation and in spite of some uncertainty of the younger age limit, it is indicated that volcanism at Tihany was not a single event of the same volcano, but rather a result of longer lived eruptions from a closely spaced, nested volcanic system.}, year = {2005}, eissn = {1336-8052}, pages = {91-99} } @article{MTMT:2215316, title = {How much time is needed for laccolith formation?

Late Miocene shallow subaqueous, fluvio-lacustrine sand and mud units underlie sub-horizontally bedded lapilli tuff and tuff beds with an erosional contact. The pyroclastic units, a sequence up to similar to 20 m thick, constitute a semi-circular mound with gentle (<5 degrees) inward-dipping beds. Sedimentary features and field relationships indicate that the pyroclastic units were formed in a terrestrial setting. Phreatomagmatic explosions occurred at a shallow depth, producing a large amount of juvenile ash and lapilli, which were transported and deposited predominantly by pyroclastic density currents, subordinate fallout and reworked by gravity currents. The tuff ring is overlain by a 5 m thick sequence of cross- and parallel laminated siltstone and mudstone deposited in a take inferred to have developed in a crater. The textural and structural differences between the lacustrine units beneath and above the tuff ring sequences suggest that they did not belong to the same lacustrine environment. The post-tuff ring lacustrine sequence is invaded by basanite pillow lava. The lava shows a basal peperitic margin partially destroying the original structure of the lacustrine beds due to fluidisation. The time gap between the tuff ring formation and the emplacement of the lava flow is estimated to be in the order of thousands of years.

Sixty-eight K-At ages (thirty-three new) provide constraints on the eruptive history of the Calimani volcanic structure between 11.3 and 6.7 Ma. The oldest rocks are from shallow exhumed intrusions, which pierced the basement between 11.3-9.4 Ma. The oldest stratovolcano was centered on the presently recognizable main volcanoes, Rusca-Tihu and the Calimani Caldera and grew very large (ca. 300 km(3)), generating a large-volume (26 km 3) debris avalanche. Debris avalanche blocks dated between 10.2-7.8 Ma, suggest an edifice failure event at 8.0 +/- 0.5 Ma. The Dragoiasa Formation (9.3-8.4 Ma), Budacu Formation (9.0-8.5 Ma), Lomas Formation (8.6 Ma), a number of Peripheral Domes (8.7-7.1 Ma) and Sarmas basalts (8.5-8.3 Ma) were also active before the debris avalanche event. Volcanic activity continued from the Rusca-Tihu Volcano between 8.0-6.9 Ma, generating the "Rusca-Tihu Volcaniclastic Formation". The Calimani Caldera structure including pre-caldera and post-caldera stages was generated between 7.5-6.7 Ma, with an inferred collapse event at 7.1 +/- 0.5 Ma. Monzodioritic-dioritic bodies in the central part of the caldera show ages between 8.8-7.3 Ma, implying several episodes of intrusions. Fractional crystallization was important in the generation of different magma series at lower crustal to shallow crustal depths, where plagioclase was the main crystallizing phase. Crustal assimilation affected most of the analysed samples to some degree through assimilation-fractional-crystallization (AFC) processes. Isotopic enrichment of the most basic rocks suggests that contamination processes affected the source of most parental magmas, except those of the Lomas Formation. The initial stages of volcanism were most complex from the petrological point of view. The Dragoiasa Formation (represented only by felsic rocks), for instance, suggests either fractionation from a basic parental magma and mixing with partial melts of (lower) crustal origin, or represents direct melting of the garnet bearing lower crust. The Lomas Formation represents the most primitive magma, which reached the surface recording minimal interaction with crustal material and most closely characterizes the isotopic composition of the mantle source beneath the Calimani Volcano. The youngest volcanic rocks represented by the Calimani Caldera structure were derived from magmas that show a lower degree of partial melting and were largely affected by assimilation processes.}, year = {2005}, eissn = {1336-8052}, pages = {67-75} } @article{MTMT:1883941, title = {Type-II xenoliths and related metasomatism from the Nógrád-Gömör Volcanic Field, Carpathian-Pannonian region (northern Hungary-southern Slovakia)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1883941}, author = {Kovács, István János and Zajacz, Z and Szabó, Csaba}, doi = {10.1016/j.tecto.2004.07.032}, journal-iso = {TECTONOPHYSICS}, journal = {TECTONOPHYSICS}, volume = {393}, unique-id = {1883941}, issn = {0040-1951}, keywords = {Europe; World; Eastern Hemisphere; Eurasia; PLEISTOCENE; Pannonian Basin; Pliocene; subduction zone; Carpathian-Pannonian region; xenolith; metasomatism; mantle chemistry; Carpathian Basin; trace element geochemistry; underplating; Cumulate xenolith; Nógrád-Gömör Volcanic Field}, year = {2004}, eissn = {1879-3266}, pages = {139-161}, orcid-numbers = {Kovács, István János/0000-0002-3488-3716; Szabó, Csaba/0000-0002-1580-6344} } @article{MTMT:149320, title = {Short-lived quaternary volcanism in the Persani Mountains (Romania) revealed by combined K-Ar and paleomagnetic data}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/149320}, author = {Panaiotu, CG and Pécskay, Zoltán and Hambach, U and Seghedi, I and Panaiotu, CE and Tetsumaru, I and Orleanu, M and Szakács, A}, journal-iso = {GEOL CARPATH}, journal = {GEOLOGICA CARPATHICA}, volume = {55}, unique-id = {149320}, issn = {1335-0552}, abstract = {New K-Ar ages combined with paleomagnetic data demonstrate that the basaltic volcanism in the Per am Mountains occurred in two relatively short phases.

Detailed field observations combined with K-Ar ages, geochemical analyses, Sr-Nd isotopes and paleomagnetic data constrain a model for the geotectonic evolution and processes of melt generation that may account for the exceptional mineralizing potential of the magmatic activity in this region. The magmatic activity developed mainly between 14.7 and 7.4 Ma and after a gap ceased at around 1.6 Ma. Geotectonic conditions do not support contemporaneous subduction processes, but were represented by transtensional and rotational tectonics, which generated horst and graben structures and favoured the generation and ascent of magmas. The "subduction signature" of the magmas emphasizes the significant involvement of fluids (mantle lithosphere and/or lower crust) inherited during previous geodynamic events. The mechanism of magmagenesis is considered to be related to decompressional melting (various degrees of) of a heterogeneous source situated at the crust-lithosphere mantle boundary. Mixing with asthenospheric melts generated during the extension-related attenuation of the lithosphere may also be implied. The evolution from normal to adakitic-like calc-alkaline and alkaline magmas generally is time-dependent as a consequence of variable fluid-present melting. Fractional crystallization-assimilation processes in shallow magma chambers are suggested for early magmatism but were almost absent from later magmatism, which related to an increasingly extensional regime. The youngest alkalic (shoshonitic) magmatism (1.6 Ma) is asthenosphere-derived, but in a different extensional event, being almost coeval with the OIB-like alkali-basaltic magmatism (2.5 Ma) occurring along the South Transylvanian fault.

Several groups of mafic alkalic rocks from different regions within the CPR have been distinguished oil the basis of ages and/or trace-element compositions. Their trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope systematics are consistent with derivation from complex mantle-source regions, which included both depleted asthenosphere and metasomatized lithosphere.

We propose unconventional geometrical and mathematical transformations of the original DEM data in order to enhance the topographic features of the volcanic relief that stem from the primary landforms. It is the actual ridges that represent the least degraded surfaces of an original, hypothetical volcanic cone. Therefore, the statistical DEM properties such as ridge pattern (1), slope angle distribution (2) and higher-order slope derivatives (3) should be strongly correlated with the paleosurface. Automated creation of a ridge pattern image is based on the local histogram of the DEM, and helps to outline the original surface remnants. A local slope angle histogram may point out structurally coherent parts of the original cone: for instance, tectonic displacements or large-scale sector slumping does not affect the slope angle histogram of the original relief. Evaluating the ridge maps and slope aspect maps of the Börzsöny Mountains allows various cone sectors to be identified and connected to the original volcano-structural elements. Finally, the polar coordinate-transformed (PCT) image (4) centered on a hypothesized eruptive vent enhances the original, radial valley pattern. In the case of multiple eruptive centers and/or post-eruptive tectonic modifications, the radial pattern is changed, which may be evidenced in the PCT image. In fact, the PCT image analysis for the Börzsöny Mountains suggests a complex post-eruptive tectonic scenario.

We have carried out a detailed petrographic observation on sulfide inclusions using reflected light microscope and analyzed numerous back-scattered electron images of the most typical sulfide blebs. Based on the petrographic study, only rounded, elongated or negative crystal-shaped single inclusions, occurring randomly in clinopyroxene and amphibole and rarely in olivine and spinel, have been selected for detailed electron microprobe analysis. The size of these single inclusions ranges from 3 to 75 mum in diameter. The sulfide blebs consist mostly of pyrrhotite and minor chalcopyrite, pentlandite and cubanite. Pyrrhotite, which is the major phase in all the inclusions, is Ni poor (max 6.1 wt.%). Chalcopyrite is deficient in Cu content (greater than or equal to 28.9 wt.%). Pentlandite and cubanite show regular compositions and were identified only in one xenolith. The bulk compositions of sulfide blebs show a tight compositional range and are rich in Fe compared to those in Type-l peridotite xenoliths from the same volcanic field [Geochim. Costnochim.

The sulfide blebs (mineralogically pyrrhotite) experienced a high- and low-temperature evolution, producing further sulfide phases (chalcopyrite, pentlandite, cubanite) present in the blebs.

This combination of data helped to reconstruct the possible activity of individual fault zones. At least four ENE-WSW striking zones-the Northern Imbricates, the South Mecsek zone, the Gorcsony-Mariakemend ridge and the Villany Mountains-were confirmed as regional long-lived transpressive zones with very complicated internal deformation, frequently with oppositely dipping thrust faults. Tertiary structural history began with a roughly N-S-directed shortening in the South Mecsek zone. It was followed by a NE-SW-directed transpression activating practically all important wrench zones together with perpendicular transfer faults. Basins were created along some of these deformation zones, but were also affected by major tilts due to inversion. After a relatively quiescent period in the Middle Miocene, the Late Sarmatian inversion followed. Shortly after, this event was relayed by a NE-SW-directed extension-transtension. An important inversion period characterised by NW-SE compression occurred in Late Pannonian (Messinian), when all the former wrench zones were reactivated as right-lateral shear. This event is responsible for the present topography of the region. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Base surge and fallout deposits were formed around maars by phreatomagmatic explosions, caused by interactions between water-saturated sediments and alkali basalt magma carrying peridotite Iherzolite xenoliths as well as pyroxene and olivine megacrysts. Subsequently, nested maars functioned as a sediment trap where deposition built up Gilbert-type delta sequences. At the onset of eruption, magma began to interact with a moderate amount of groundwater in the water-saturated sand. As eruption continued phreatomagmatic blasts excavated downward into limestones, providing access to abundant karst water and deeper to sandstones and schist both providing large amount of fracture-filling water, At the surface, this 'wet' eruption led to the emplacement of massive tuff breccias by fall, surge, mudflow and gravity flow deposition. The nature of the TMVC maar eruptions and their deposits appears to depend on the hydrological condition of the karst and/or fracture-filling aquifer, which varies seasonally with rainfall and spring runoff. The West and East Maar volcanoes of TMVC are interpreted to represent low water input from the karst and/or fracture-filling aquifer ('summer vent'), whereas the East Maar is interpreted to have formed when abundant karst and/or fracture-filling water was available ('spring vent').

The Transcarpathian region in SW Ukraine comprises the central part of this are and was active in the Middle-Late Miocene. The volcanic structures of the Transcarpathian region can be: divided into three major areas: a-Outer Arc; b-Intermediate zone; c-Inner Arc. This division reflects the basic tectonic features of the Ukrainian Carpathians, but differs From other parts of the Carpathian are. The Outer Arc consists of a number of overlapping stratovolcanic structures, generally composed of lava flows, domes, dykes/sills, volcanic necks and lahars of basaltic andesite, andesite and dacite composition. In the Inner Arc, tuffs, ignimbrites and ash deposits of dacite, rhyodacite and rhyolite are abundant. Lava flows of andesitic and basaltic-andesitic composition are present, together with domes of dacite and rhyolite. The Intermediate zone is composed of lava domes and small andesitic shield volcanoes. New K/Ar data obtained From 57 volcanic rock samples has yielded K/Ar ages of 13.4-9.1 Ma. This time interval (similar to 4.5 million years) is similar to that of the neighbouring Carpathian volcanic regions to the west (Tokaj Mts., Hungary) and to the east (Calimani, Romania). Badenian rhyolitic tuffs buried within the Transcarpathian area represented the earlier phases of magmatism, but they have been dated only by biostratigraphic methods. Thus, there is no evidence in this area for any along-are migration of volcanism, unlike in the Eastern Carpathians of Romania. Formation of volcanic structures started simultaneously in both Outer Arc and Inner Arc volcanic areas (13.4 Ma). Different peaks of volcanic activity were observed: (a) between 13.0-11.5 in the Inner Arc, interpreted as the major period of generation of a complex of resurgent domes related to formation of a caldera, probably situated toward the central part of the Transcarpathian depression, and (b) between 11.2-10.5 Ma in the Outer Arc, representing the main period of volcano generation, The end of the volcanic activity (9.5-9.1 Ma) was scattered and less voluminous.}, year = {2000}, eissn = {1336-8052}, pages = {83-89} } @article{MTMT:147938, title = {Origin of the Pliocene vertebrate bone accumulation at Hajnácka, Southern Slovakia}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/147938}, author = {Vass, D and Konecny, V and Túnyi, I and Dolinsky, P and Balogh, Kadosa and Hudácková, N and Kovácová-Slúmková, M and Belácek, B}, journal-iso = {GEOL CARPATH}, journal = {GEOLOGICA CARPATHICA}, volume = {51}, unique-id = {147938}, issn = {1335-0552}, year = {2000}, eissn = {1336-8052}, pages = {69} } @article{MTMT:147768, title = {K-Ar dating of the Miocene andesite intrusions, Pieniny Mts, West Carpathians, Poland}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/147768}, author = {Birkenmajer, K and Pécskay, Zoltán}, journal-iso = {BULLETIN OF THE POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES-EARTH SCIENCES}, journal = {BULLETIN OF THE POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES-EARTH SCIENCES}, volume = {47}, unique-id = {147768}, issn = {0239-7277}, keywords = {GEOCHRONOLOGY; potassium-argon dating; Miocene; igneous intrusion; Poland; West Carpathians; K-Ar dating; LATE MIOCENE; andesite; Andesite intrusions}, year = {1999}, pages = {155-169} } @book{MTMT:1394508, title = {A Balaton-felvidék földtana : Magyarázó a Balaton-felvidék földtani térképéhez, 1:50 000 = Geology of the Balaton Highland : Explanation to the Geological Map of the Balaton Highland, 1:50.000}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1394508}, isbn = {9636712247}, author = {Budai, Tamás and Császár, Géza and Csillag, Gábor and DUDKO, A and Koloszár, László and MAJOROS, GY}, publisher = {Geological Institute of Hungary}, unique-id = {1394508}, year = {1999} } @misc{MTMT:1394667, title = {A Balaton-felvidék földtani térképe [Geological map of the Balaton Highland], 1:50 000}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1394667}, editor = {Budai, Tamás and Csillag, Gábor and DUDKO, A and Koloszár, László}, unique-id = {1394667}, year = {1999} } @inbook{MTMT:1369059, title = {Tertiary tectonic evolution of the Pannonian Basin system and neighbouring orogens: a new synthesis of palaeostress data}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1369059}, author = {Fodor, László and Csontos, L and Bada, G and Györfi, I and Benkovics, L}, booktitle = {The Mediterranean Basins: tertiary extension within the Alpine Orogen}, doi = {10.1144/GSL.SP.1999.156.01.15}, unique-id = {1369059}, year = {1999}, pages = {295-334} } @article{MTMT:1890263, title = {Paleogeographic evolution of the Late Miocene Lake Pannon in Central Europe}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1890263}, author = {Magyar, Imre and Geary, DH and Muller, P}, doi = {10.1016/S0031-0182(98)00155-2}, journal-iso = {PALAEOGEOGR PALAEOCL}, journal = {PALAEOGEOGRAPHY PALAEOCLIMATOLOGY PALAEOECOLOGY}, volume = {147}, unique-id = {1890263}, issn = {0031-0182}, abstract = {The paleogeographic evolution of Lake Pannon within the Pannonian basin is reconstructed with eight maps, ranging from the Middle Miocene to the Early Pliocene.

(eds B.Durand, L. Jolivet, F.Horvath and M.Seranne). We present an up-to-date stratigraphic framework for the Late Miocene (post-rift) non-marine strata of the western Pannonian Basin, based on unconformity-bounded units as they are derived from seismic interpretation. The data set used for this study consisted of some 1700 km of conventional, multi-channel reflection seismic profiles across western Hungary integrated by 190 km of high-resolution, single- channel seismic profiles acquired on Lake Balaton in June of 1993. Seismic stratigraphic analysis has been constrained by selected geological mapping, well-logs and borehole data. A magnetostratigraphic record was also available from a corehole in the study area, together with recent K/Ar dating of basaltic rocks from the Balaton highland. Five third-order (with 10 6 year periodicities) stratigraphic sequences have been recognized at regional scale in the Late Miocene succession of the western Pannonian Basin. We have designated these sequences, from bottom to top, as Sarmatian-1 (SAR-1) and Pannonian-1 (PAN-1) to Pannonian-4 (PAN-4). Reliable time constraints were only available for the two maximum flooding surfaces of sequences PAN-2 and PAN-3, namely mfs-2 (9.0 Ma) and mfs-3 (7.4 Ma), and the boundary of sequence PAN-2 (PAN-2 SB) which is approximately dated at 8.7 Ma. PAN-2 sequence boundary is associated with evidence of relative water-level drop in the Pannonian Lake and significant exposure of lake margins that is widely recorded in the so-called 'marginal facies' of western Hungary. The higher rank unit bounded by PAN-1 SB and PAN-4 SB includes most of the Pannonian s.l. succession of the central Paratethys and approximately correlates with the Tortonian-Messinian of the standard chronostratigraphy. Seemingly, no major palaeo-environmental impact was perceptible in the western Pannonian Basin during the Messinian salinity crisis of the Mediterranean. However a significant change in the regional stratigraphic patterns may be observed since earliest Pliocene (after PAN-4 SB), possibly associated with the very beginning of a large-scale tectonic inversion within the intra-Carpathian area. The case of Late Miocene non-marine strata of Pannonian Basin is a textbook example of how single categories of stratigraphic units do not fit (sometimes do not even approximate) chronostratigraphic correlation. The use of unconformity-bounded units offers new insights into the complex and long debated problem of stratigraphic correlation between Late Neogene deposits of the Pannonian Basin and 'similar' non-marine strata of the Central Paratethys realm. Our study shows that the so-called 'Pontian facies' of western Hungary correspond to an unconformity-bounded unit which is older than the Pontian s.s. facies of the stratotype area (Black Sea basin). Accordingly, we suggest that different stages may be used to discriminate between such similar-in-facies but different-in-age strata. We hence recommend the introduction of a new chronostratigraphic unit ('Danubian' or 'Transdanubian') in the Late Miocene series of Central Paratethys and a three-fold sub-division of the Pannonian (s.l.) strata into Early Pannonian (Pannonian s.s.), 'Middle Pannonian' ('Danubian' or 'Transdanubian') and Late Pannonian (Pontian s.s.) stages.}, keywords = {Europe; STRATIGRAPHY; Neogene; Sequence stratigraphy; basin evolution; tectonic evolution; Pontia; unconformity; Tortonia}, year = {1999}, pages = {357-390} } @article{MTMT:1256307, title = {Lithospheric structure of the Pannonian basin derived from seismic, gravity and geothermal data}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1256307}, author = {Tari, Gábor and Dövényi, Péter and Dunkl, István and Horváth, Ferenc and Lenkey, László and Szafian, P and Toth, T}, doi = {10.1144/GSL.SP.1999.156.01.12}, journal-iso = {GEOL SOC SPEC PUBL}, journal = {GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATIONS}, volume = {156}, unique-id = {1256307}, issn = {0305-8719}, abstract = {This paper is part of the special publication No.156, The Mediterranean basins: Tertiary extension within the Alpine Orogen. (eds B.Durand, L. Jolivet, F.Horvath and M.Seranne). The structure of the Pannonian basin is the result of distinct modes of Mid-Late Miocene extension exerting a profound effect on the lithospheric configuration, which continues even today. As the first manifestation of extensional collapse, large magnitude, metamorphic core complex style extension took place at the beginning of the Mid-Miocene in certain parts of the basin. Extrapolation of the present-day high heat flow in the basin, corrected for the blanketing effect of the basin fill, indicates a hot and thin lithosphere at the onset of extension. This initial condition, combined with the relatively thick crust inherited from earlier Alpine compressional episodes, appears to be responsible for the core complex type extension at the beginning of the syn-rift period. This type of extension is well documented in the northwestern Pannonian basin. Newly obtained deep reflection seismic and fission-track data integrated with well data from the southeastern part of the basin suggests that it developed in a similar fashion. Shortly after the initial period, the style of syn-rift extension changed to a wide-rift style, covering an area of much larger geographic extent. The associated normal faults revealed by industry reflection seismic data tend to dominate within the upper crust, obscuring pre-existing structures. However, several deep seismic profiles, constrained by gravity and geothermal modeling, image the entire lithosphere beneath the basin. It is the Mid-Miocene synrift extension which is still reflected in the structure of the Pannonian lithosphere, on the scale of the whole basin system. The gradually diminishing extension during the Late Miocene/Pliocene could not advance to the localization of extension into narrow rift zones in the Pannonian region except some deep subbasins such as the Mako/Bekes and Danube basins. These basins are underlain coincidently by anomalously thin crust (22-25 km) and lithosphere (45-60 km). Significant departures (up to 130 mW m -2) from the average present-day surface heat flow for the initiation of two newly defined narrow rift zones (Tisza and Duna) in the Pannonian basin system. However, both of these narrow rifts failed since the final docking of the Eastern Carpathians onto the European foreland excluded any further extension of the back-arc region.}, year = {1999}, eissn = {2041-4927}, pages = {215-250}, orcid-numbers = {Lenkey, László/0000-0003-4236-4075} } @article{MTMT:1155181, title = {Miocene acidic explosive volcanism in the Bükk Foreland, Hungary: identifying eruptive sequences and searching for search location.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1155181}, author = {Szakács, A and Seghedi, I and Zelenka, T and Márton Péterné Szalay, Emőke and Pécskay, Zoltán and Póka, Teréz}, journal-iso = {ACTA GEOL HUNG}, journal = {ACTA GEOLOGICA HUNGARICA: A QUARTERLY OF THE HUNGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES}, volume = {41}, unique-id = {1155181}, issn = {0236-5278}, year = {1998}, pages = {413-435}, orcid-numbers = {Márton Péterné Szalay, Emőke/0000-0002-2135-8867} } @article{MTMT:1025551, title = {Triassic sequence stratigraphy of the Balaton Highland, Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1025551}, author = {Budai, Tamás and Haas, János}, journal-iso = {ACTA GEOL HUNG}, journal = {ACTA GEOLOGICA HUNGARICA: A QUARTERLY OF THE HUNGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES}, volume = {40}, unique-id = {1025551}, issn = {0236-5278}, year = {1997}, pages = {307-335}, orcid-numbers = {Haas, János/0000-0003-0929-8889} } @article{MTMT:147089, title = {The evolution of the Neogene volcanism in the Apuseni Mountains (Romania): constraints from new K-Ar data}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/147089}, author = {Rosu, E and Pécskay, Zoltán and Stefan, A and Popescu, G and Panaiotu, C and Panaiotu, CE}, journal-iso = {GEOL CARPATH}, journal = {GEOLOGICA CARPATHICA}, volume = {48}, unique-id = {147089}, issn = {1335-0552}, year = {1997}, eissn = {1336-8052}, pages = {1-7} } @article{MTMT:1507566, title = {The evolution of the Neogene volcanism in the Apuseni Mountains (Rumania): Constraints from new K-Ar data}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1507566}, author = {Rosu, E and Pécskay, Zoltán and Stefan, A and Popescu, G and Panaiotu, C and Panaiotu, CE}, journal-iso = {GEOL ZBORN}, journal = {GEOLOGICKY ZBORNIK}, volume = {48}, unique-id = {1507566}, issn = {0016-7738}, abstract = {New K-Ar data from the Apuseni Mountains Neogene volcanic area are presented.

This volcanism followed an extended period of subduction-related mostly andesitic and dacitic magmatism in the Eastern Carpathian are. The Persani Mts. alkaline activity coincided with the last phase of subduction-related activity. Several lava flows and pyroclastic deposits in the Persani Mts. carry peridotitic mantle xenoliths and amphibole megacrysts. Major- and trace-element geochemistry indicates that the alkaline magmas are primitive, silica-undersaturated alkali basalts and trachybasalts (7.8-12.3 wt.% MgO; 119-207 ppm Ni; 210-488 ppm Cr) which are LREE-enriched. Mantle-normalised trace-element diagrams reveal an overall similarity to continental intraplate alkali basalts, but when compared with a global average of ocean island basalts (GIB), the Banat lavas are similar to average GIB, whereas the Persani Mts. basalts have higher Rb, Ba, K and Pb and lower Nb, Zr and Ti. These features slightly resemble those of subduction-related magmas, particularly those of a basaltic andesite related to the nearby older are magmas. With Sr-87/Sr-86 varying from 0.7035-0.7045 and Nd-143/Nd-144 from 0.51273-0.51289, the Romanian alkali basalts are indistinguishable from those of the western Pannonian basin (Hungary and Austria) and Neogene alkali basalts throughout Europe. Amphibole megacrysts have similar isotopic signatures, and their REE patterns indicate derivation by crystallisation from a mafic alkaline magma. The age-corrected Sr and Nd isotopic compositions of a calc-alkaline basaltic andesite related to the preceeding period of subduction also lies within the field of the younger alkaline magmas. Pb isotopic ratios of the Romanian alkali basalts do not lie on the NHRL, but overlap the field of Tertiary alkali basalts from the western Pannonian basin, and have unusually high Pb-207/Pb-204 at a given Pb-206/Pb-204. Thus it is probable that, although the Romanian alkali basalts have a strong asthenospheric (i.e. OIB-type mantle source) component, their Pb isotopic characteristics were derived from mantle which was affected by the earlier subduction.}, year = {1995}, eissn = {1872-6143}, pages = {65-81} } @article{MTMT:1124938, title = {Source mantle characteristics beneath the Carpathian-Pannonian Region: a review of trace element and isotopic evidence from Pliocene to Quaternary alkali basalts.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1124938}, author = {Embey-Isztin, Antal and Dobosi, Gábor}, journal-iso = {ACTA VULCANOL}, journal = {ACTA VULCANOLOGICA}, volume = {7}, unique-id = {1124938}, issn = {1121-9114}, year = {1995}, eissn = {1724-0425}, pages = {155-166} } @article{MTMT:1155132, title = {Space and time distribution of Neogene - Quaternary volcanism in the Carpatho - Pannonian region.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1155132}, author = {Pécskay, Zoltán and Lexa, J and Szakács, A and Balogh, Kadosa and Seghedi, I and Konecny, V and Kovács, M and Márton Péterné Szalay, Emőke and Kaliciak, M and Széky-Fux, V and Póka, Teréz and Gyarmati, P and Edelstein, O and Rosu, E and Zec, B}, journal-iso = {ACTA VULCANOL}, journal = {ACTA VULCANOLOGICA}, volume = {7}, unique-id = {1155132}, issn = {1121-9114}, year = {1995}, eissn = {1724-0425}, pages = {15-28}, orcid-numbers = {Márton Péterné Szalay, Emőke/0000-0002-2135-8867} } @article{MTMT:1883710, title = {Ultramafic xenoliths from the Little Hungarian Plain: a petrologic and geochemical study, in Downes, H. & Vaselli, O.

Amphibole veins cut some spinel peridotite samples. All are derived from the shallow lithospheric upper mantle. In general, textural variations are restricted to protogranular and porphyroclastic types, compared with the more varied textures found in mantle xenoliths from the alkali basalts of the neighbouring Pannonian Basin. Also, ETB peridotites are richer in amphibole. Thus, the mantle beneath the edge of the ETB is less deformed but more strongly metasomatized than the mantle closer to the centre of the Pannonian Basin. Mineralogical and bulk-rock geochemical variations resemble those of spinel lherzolites from other sub-continental shallow mantle xenolith suites. There is no apparent correlation between deformation and geochemistry, and much of the major and trace element variation is due to variable extraction of picritic melts The REE patterns of separated clinopyroxenes from the peridotite xenoliths are mostly LREE depleted, although clinopyroxenes from regions adjacent to amphibole veins have experienced an enrichment in La and Ce and a change in their Sr and Nd isotopic values towards those of the vein, while still retaining an overall LREE depletion. Clinopyroxenes from the websterites and clinopyroxenites are more variable. Amphibole in the hydrous pyroxenites and amphibole veins is strongly LREE enriched and is considered to be metasomatic in origin. Sr-87/Sr-86 and Nd-143/ Nd-144 isotopic ratios of the xenoliths vary between 0.7018 and 0.7044, and 0.51355 and 0.51275, respectively. These values are more depleted than those obtained for xenoliths from the Pannonian Basin. The lower Nd-143/Nd-144 and higher Sr-87/Sr-86 values are found in anhydrous pyroxenites, metasomatic amphiboles in veins and amphibole pyroxenites, and in the only example of an equigranular spinel lherzolite in the suite. The ETB xenoliths were brought to the surface in alkaline volcanism which post-dated a period of Miocene to Pliocene subduction-related calc-alkaline volcanism. However, the effects of the passage of either slab-derived fluids or calc-alkaline magmas through the ETB lithospheric mantle cannot be discerned in the chemistry of the xenoliths. The metasomatic amphibole has Sr-87/Sr-86 and Nd-143/Nd-144 ratios similar to the host alkali basalts, but the least evolved calc-alkaline magmas also have similar Sr and Nd isotope compositions. The REE patterns of the amphibole resemble those of amphiboles considered to have crystallized from alkaline melts. No preferential enrichment in elements typically associated with slab-derived fluids (K, Rb and Sr) relative to elements typically depleted in calc-alkaline magmas (Ti, Zr and Nb) has been observed in the vein amphiboles, although some interstitial amphibole is depleted in all incompatible trace elements, including LREE. Thus, despite its position dose to the calc-alkaline volcanic are of the Eastern Carpathians, we cannot readily detect any interaction between the lithospheric upper mantle beneath the ETB and subduction-related magmas or fluids. Metasomatism in the lithospheric mantle is instead largely related to the passage of a primitive alkaline magma similar to the host alkali basalts.}, year = {1995}, eissn = {1460-2415}, pages = {23-53} } @article{MTMT:2107026, title = {Geomorphological and geological evidences for one of the oldest crater remnants known in the Carpathians: Mt.

We see two major kinematic problems to be solved: (1) The present distribution of the Mesozoic and Palaeogene facies is mosaic-like, and some belts form exotic bodies within realms of Austroalpine affinity. (2) Late Eocene palinspastic reconstruction of the Outer Carpathian flysch nappes suggest, that the entire Intra-Carpathian area must have been located several hundreds of kilometres to the south and to the west of its present position. Neogene extension can account for shortening in the external Carpathian nappes, but is unable to explain Mesozoic facies anomalies and offsets of Palaeogene formations. We suggest that evolution of the Intra-Carpathian area involved first Late Palaeogene-Early Miocene juxtaposition of the North-Pannonian and Tisza megatectonic units, accompanied by the closure of the external Carpathian flysch troughs; thereafter extension of this amalgamated unit occurred, which was compensated by thrusting of flysch nappes onto the European foreland and formation of molasse foredeeps. Eastward escape of the North-Pannonian unit from the Alpine collisional belt involved left lateral shear along the Pieniny Klippen belt and right lateral shear along the Mid-Hungarian zone. Parts of the Late Palaeogene basin and an Early Miocene volcanic edifice were dissected, offset and elongated by several 100 kms. The driving mechanism of the eastward escape of the Intra-Carpathian area can be related to the collision of Apulia and Europe and the subduction of the external Carpathian crust under the Pannonian units. The escape ceased gradually in the Early Miocene, when oblique collision between the North-Pannonian unit and European continent occurred. Neogene extension of the Pannonian region was an areal deformation. The extension at locally variable rate resulted in the break-up of the heterogenous floor of the Neogene basin. The driving mechanism of basin extension and contemporaneous compressional deformation of the external Carpathians is thought to be related to ongoing subduction, involving the marginal part of the attenuated European continental crust.
