  • Natural Radioactive Element Content of the Old Crystalline Rocks in Southern Transdanubia (Sw Hungary)
    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged, XL, 121-138, 1999 NATURAL RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT CONTENT OF THE OLD CRYSTALLINE ROCKS IN SOUTHERN TRANSDANUBIA (SW HUNGARY) E. PÁL MOLNÁR*, I. VADOS**, I. GERZSON**, B. KÓBOR* •Department of Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Pétrology, Attila József University "Mecsekérc Environment Protection Co. ABSTRACT On the basis of systématisation of several thousand radioactive element content analyses made in laboratories since the 50's, U and Th content of old granitoid rocks of Southern Transdanubia proved to be much higher than the average U and Th content of granitoids in the world. This value of rocks from areas west of Mecsek Mountains as well as near Szalatnak village and Pecs city is twice higher than the world average. Areas west of the Mecsek Mountains show higher U and lower Th contents than areas east of these mountains. Uranium accumulation is higher in aplites and hydrothermal formations than in granites. The western and eastern granites are less and highly sensitive to leaching, respectively. The intensive U migration resulted in significant U accumulation in young sediments in some places. INTRODUCTION Study of natural radioactive element (U /Ra1, Th, K) content of the rocks in Hungary was performed by the Mecseki Ércbányászati Vállalat (Mecsek Ore Mining Company) until 1990, when uranium exploration was stopped in Hungary. Aim of the analyses was to research U sources, therefore, rocks supposed to contain perspective U accumulation were mainly studied. The aim of this paper is to elaborate many thousands radiological data of granitoid rocks, gneisses and amphibolite-like metamorphic rocks coming from Southern Transdanubia (south of the Szekszárd-Kaposvár-Kutas line to the state boundary, and east of the Kutas-Csokonyavisonta-Barcs line to the Danube).

    17 KITAIBELIA XIII. évf. 1. szám pp.: 17-28. Debrecen 2008 Adatok a Baranyai-dombság flórájához PURGER Dragica Pécsi Tudományegyetem, TTK, Biológiai Intézet, Állatökológia Tanszék, H-7624 Pécs, Ifjúság útja 6. [email protected] Bevezetés A Mecseken és környékén végzett botanikai kutatások több mint kétszáz éves történetét HORVÁT Adolf Olivér munkái foglalják össze (HORVÁT 1942, 1958, 1975, 1976, 1977). Az elmúlt évtizedekben végzett florisztikai felmérések eredményei számos adattal gazdagították ismereteinket a Baranyai-dombság növényvilágáról (KEVEY 1986, 1988, 1995, 2001, KEVEY & HORVÁT 2000, DÉNES 1997, TÓTH 1998, 1999, 2000). Az utóbbi öt évben országszerte intenzív terepbotanikai kutatások folytak, és a legújabb eredmények (K EVEY 2004, PÁL 2002 a, b, 2003, PURGER 2002 a, 2002 b, CSIKY et al. 2005) arról tanúskodnak, hogy a vizsgált terület még sok feltáratlan botanikai értéket rejt. A vizsgált terület és módszerek A Baranyai-dombság a Mecsekt ől délre-délkeletre terül el. Négy részre tagolódik. Délen a Pécsi-síkság, attól északkeletre, pedig a Geresdi-dombság helyezkedik el. Legnagyobb részét a Dél-Baranyai dombság kistáj teszi ki. A Baranyai-dombság negyedik részét, mint egy sziget a Villányi hegység képezi (MAROSI & SOMOGYI 1990). Ez utóbbi tájegységet azonban e munkában mell őzzük, tekintettel arra, hogy a növényföldrajzi dolgozatokban a Villányi-hegységet általában külön (pl. MOLNÁR 1999), vagy a Mecsekkel együtt tárgyalják (pl. BORHIDI 2006). A félreértések elkerülése végett itt jegyzem meg, hogy az el őző cikkemben (PURGER 2002 a) a „Baranyai-dombság” név alatt a Dél-Baranyai dombságot értettem. Mindazonáltal, az egész térséget, és ezt a területet is, a geográfusok és a botanikusok több néven tárgyalyák: pl.: Mecsekalja (HORVÁT 1942), Tolna-Baranyai dombvidék (BORHIDI 2006, PÁL 2003).

  • The Karpatian (Late Early Miocene) Flora of the Mecsek Area
    Acta Palaeobotanica 60(1), 51–122, 2020 e-ISSN 2082-0259 https://doi.org/10.35535/acpa-2020-0003 ISSN 0001-6594 The Karpatian (late early Miocene) flora of the Mecsek area LILLA HABLY Botanical Department, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1431 Budapest, P.O. box 137, Hungary; e-mail: [email protected] Received 9 September 2019; accepted for publication 28 January 2020 In remembrance of the beautiful summers spent collecting with my family in the Mecsek Mountains ABSTRACT. A rich macroflora has been collected from Karpatian (late early Miocene) layers of the Mecsek Mts during recent decades. The bulk of the fossil assemblage consists of leaves and also fruits of angiosperms. Among the more than a hundred taxa, several endemic species were described: Leguminocarpum mecsekense Andreánszky, Ailanthus mecsekensis Hably, Nyssa gyoergyi sp. nov., Nyssa gergoei sp. nov., Nyssa sp. 1, Clematis csabae sp. nov., Gordonia sp. and Carpolithes gergoei Hably et Erdei sp. nov. Many taxa were last recorded in the Carpathian Basin, e.g. Cedrelospermum, Ziziphus. Other taxa appeared in this flora, e.g. Quercus kubinyii, Podocarpium podocarpum, Liquidambar europaea and Populus populina, and later became dominant in the middle Miocene (Sarmatian) floras or even in the late Miocene (Pannonian) floras. Four main vegetation types were determined. The most significant types are subxerophytic vegetation showing high diversity, swamp veg- etation, riparian vegetation, and a vegetation type growing in habitats with higher rainfall. Thermophilous flora elements are dominant in the assemblage, although “arctotertiary” species also appear. The floristic character of the flora supports the results of an earlier quantitative climate analysis of the Magyaregregy flora, accord- ing to which mean annual temperature was 15.6–16.6°C and coldest-month and warmest-month temperatures were 5–6.2°C and 24.7–27.9°C, respectively.

The aim of the present study is to provide a review and a critical re-evaluation of the previously pub- lished data on both the sideritic–kaolinitic layers (the so-called “Mánfa Siderite”) and the green clay layers. New results of mineralogical investigation of the green clay layers are also presented. The Middle Triassic volcanic origin of the “Mánfa Siderite” cannot be confirmed. In addition to a possible volcanic contribution, the sideritic–kaolinitic layers were probably formed in a freshwater swamp under humid, tropical climatic conditions, whereby weathering in an organic-rich, acidic environment led to the for- mation of “underclays” and siderite in the coal-bearing formations of Late Triassic to Early Jurassic age.

Bevezetés A sajátos életmódú, de ennek ellenére jelentéktelenebb külsejű autogám nőszőfű kisfajok egyre gyarapodó felfedezései fordították figyelmünket fokozottabban az Epipactis nemzetség fajai felé. Jelen dolgozatban a Duna-Dráva Nemzeti Park Igazgatóság "Mecsek Tájegységének" munkatársaiként foglaljuk össze az ilyen irányú florisztikai megfigyeléseinket. Korábbi kutatások HORVÁT Adolf Olivér 1942-es mecseki flóraművéből szerezhetünk információkat először Epipactisokról. Későbbiekben KEVEY Balázs (1988, 1993a, 1993b, 1997) közöl adatokat a Mecsekből, de ezen művekben még önmegporzó nőszőfű fajokkal nem találkozunk. Először MOLNÁR és FARKAS (1995) az Epipogium aphyllum új mecseki előfordulása kapcsán közölt munkájában jelez autogám fajt, az Epipactis leptochila-t, mint a csőrös nőszőfű negyedik hazai előfordulását. MOLNÁR és mtsai. (1995) autogám fajt a Mecsekből nem közölnek, MOLNÁR és mtsai. (1997) az Epipactis nordeniorum új, réka-völgyi előfordulását közlik.

In this final discussion paper, we now aim, first, to bring together all the chapters of the long story into a single narrative, and to attempt a detailed interpretation of its long persistence, which is of a kind so far rather unfamiliar in prehistory. That enables us, secondly, to discuss the Alsónyék story in more interpretive terms, in relation to notions of persistent place, community, aggregation and coalescence, and with an eye on the broader tempo of change. In doing this, we will tack between the site-specific evidence from Alsónyék and wider comparisons from ethnography and recent history, far beyond Transdanubia in both time and space. Thirdly, we will use our formally modelled date estimates from the Lengyel period at Alsónyék to trace the intensity of occupation and of the trajectory of population increase and decline at the site. In discussing the dramatic growth of the settlement in the Lengyel period, we will also, finally, consider some of its possible causes and conditions, but this has to be seen in the context of the ongoing post-excavation research of the Alsónyék project, in which it is important to underline that many basic analyses still remain to be completed.
