Borsodbóta (Miocene of Hungary)

Also known as Királdi-útbevágás

Where: Hungary (48.2° N, 2.4° E: paleocoordinates 48.4° N, 1.1° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Badenian (13.7 - 12.7 Ma)

• The geology and chronostratigraphy of the bioclastic gravelly sands of Borsodbóta are described by Moissette et al. (2007) and Bohnné Havas et al. (2005).

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; shelly/skeletal sandstone

• This deposit probably represents a near-shore environment and deposition under slightly warmer conditions than today at the same latitude, which is indicated by the occurrence of numerous thermophilic gastropod genera, including Neosimnia, Zonarina, Oliva, Conus, Pterynotus, Terebra and others. However, other ‘warm-water’ families, such as Cypraeidae, are poorly represented.
• The geology and chronostratigraphy of the bioclastic gravelly sands of Borsodbóta are described by Moissette et al. (2007) and Bohnné Havas et al. (2005).
