  • Oxfordian Ammonites from Hungary I. ~ O Z Y ' and G. ~ E L E N D E
    GeoResearch Forum Vols. 1-2 (1996) pp. 187-194 O 1996 Transtec Publications, Switzerland Oxfordian Ammonites from Hungary I. ~ozy'and G. ~elendez~ ' Paleontological Department of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Pf. 330, H-1 370 Budapest, Hungary 2 Laboratory of Paleontology, Department of Geology, University of Zaragoza, E-5009 Zaragoza, Spain Kevwords: Ammonites, Jurassic, Transdanubian Central Range, Mecsek Mts, Hungary Abstract A general account of the Oxfordian sediment5 and ammonites from Hungary is given for the first time. Five ammonite associations are studied from the Gerecse and Pilis Mountains (Bakony Unit) and one from the Mecsek Mountains, in southern Hungary. They indicate a late Middle to early Upper Oxfordian age (Bifurcatus to lower Bimammatum Zone.) The age of lower ammonite associations from the Bakony Unit ranges from late Transversarium to lower Bifurcatus Zone on the basis of Passendorferia af birmensdorfensis (Moesch) and Gregoryceras fouquei (IOlian). An upper assemblage yielding among other forms, Euaspidoceras hypselum (Oppel), Benetticeras sp. and Passendorferia rozaki Melendez, is assigned to lower Hypselum Subzone, Bimammatum Zone. The ammonite association from the Mecsek Mountains contains common Aspidoceratids, including Euaspidoceras hypselum (Oppel) and Ataxioceratids including some representatives of Orthos-phinctes (M & m) close to the 0. tiziani (Oppel) group, suggesting an upper horizon within the Hypselum Subzone. INTRODUCTION In Hungary, ammonite bearing Jurassic rocks crop out in the territory of the Transdanubian Central Range (Bakony Unit) and in south, in the Mecsek and Villhy Mountains [l]. A detailed account, with full references on the Hungarian Jurassic was given lately [Z]. Since the early times of the Hungarian geology, a special attention was dedicated to the Jurassic biostratigraphy and ammonitology.

  • Practical Experiences in Invasive Alien Plant Control. Rosalia Handbooks
    ROSALIA Handbooks ROSALIA Handbooks Practical Experiences in Invasive Alien Plant Control Invasive plant species pose major agricultural, silvicultural, human health and ecological problems worldwide, and are considered the most signifi cant threat for nature conservation. Species invading natural areas in Hungary have been described by a number of books published in the Practical Experiences in Invasive Alien Plant Control last few years. A great amount of experience has been gathered about the control of these species in some areas, which we can read about in an increasing number of articles; however, no book has been published with regards to the whole country. Invasions affecting larger areas require high energy and cost input, and the effectiveness and successfulness of control can be infl uenced by a number of factors. The development of effective, widely applicable control and eradication technologies is preceded by experiments and examinations which are based on a lot of practical experience and often loaded with negative experiences. National park directorates, forest and agricultural managers and NGOs in many parts of Hungary are combatting the spread of invasive species; however, the exchange of information and conclusion of experiences among the managing bodies is indispensable. The aim of the present volume is to facilitate this by summarizing experiences and the methods applied in practice; which, we hope, will enable us to successfully stop the further spread of invasive plant species and effectively protect our natural values. Hungary-Slovakia Cross-border Co-operation Programme 2007-2013 Duna-Ipoly National Park Directorate Financial support for this manual has been provided by “Unified protection against invasive alien plants in sand and floodplain habitats” project.

In this study, we present quartz OSL and K feldspar post-IR IRSL290 ages for the sandy fluvial, aeolian and slope sediments collected from Danube terraces IIb, III and V. The feldspar post-IR IRSL290 ages without residual dose subtraction are older than the quartz OSL ages, except for one sample, but the two sets of ages are overlapping within one or two sigma errors. In the bleaching experiment under natural sunlight during summer, an unbleachable component ranging from 2.5±0.7 Gy to 5.2±0.3 Gy after 30 h exposure to bright sunshine is observed and it corresponds to 3−8% of the measured K feldspar post-IR IRSL290 equivalent doses.

    FRAGMENTA PALAEONTOLOGICA HUNGARICA Volume 32 Budapest, 2015 pp. 3–10 Asteroseris from the Bersek Marl (Gerecse Mountains, Hungary; Early Cretaceous; Anthozoa) Hannes Löser1 & István Főzy2 1Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Geología, Estación Regional del Noroeste, Apartado Postal 1039, 83000 Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – Th e small cupolate solitary coral Asteroseris is reported from Late Valanginian to Haute- rivian marls from the Bersek Hill (Gerecse Mountains, Northern Hungary). Th e material is poorly preserved and the taxonomic assignation is diffi cult. Th e present fi ndings indicate the earliest oc- currence of the genus and family. With 3 fi gures. Key words – Asteroseris, azooxanthellate coral, Early Cretaceous, Hungary INTRODUCTION In the years of 1963 and 1964 an intensive fossil collecting campaign was carried out by the team of the Hungarian Geological Institute from the upper- most part of the cement quarry of Bersek Hill (Gerecse Mountains, Northern Hungary). Th e collecting was realised by Tibor Steiner and co-workers, and the project was supervised by the late Prof. József Fülöp. Th e study of the collection started aft er the death of Prof. Fülöp in 1998. Th e fi rst preliminary stratigraphic and taxonomic conclusions were based upon am monite and nannoplankton studies (Főzy & Fogarasi 2002). Biostrati- graphical results, mainly based on ammonites, were later updated by Főzy & Janssen (2009). Corals are only subordinated faunal elements. Zooxanthellate corals (z-cor- als, hermatypic corals) lived and live only in shallow marine environments be- cause the symbiontic dinofl agellates they live with require light.
