Geomorphological and stratigraphical significance of Pliocene red clay in Hungary
This paper deals with red clays in Hungary, which are younger than the Upper Pannonian (Upper Miocene) but older than the Pleistocene. Their origin and stratigraphical position is still debated. Based on geomorphological position and mineralogical
(pollen, diatoms, ostracods) in the 4 subbasins of the lake allowed the reconstruction of the ecological history of the area as well providing detailed stratigraphic information. Radiocarbon dating of peat helps to date the beginning of lake formation
