Geography
| Country: | Hungary | State/province: | Nograd | County: | Paszto |
| Coordinates: | 48.0° North, 19.7° East (view map) | ||||
| Paleocoordinates: | 47.5° North, 19.4° East | ||||
| Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map | ||||
| Geographic resolution: | small collection |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Sajovolgyi | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: The succession which includes the fossiliferous bed belongs to the Sajóvölgyi Formation. It rests upon Badenian Leitha Limestone and is overlain by Pleistocene talus sediments. Its age is determined as Upper Badenian (Neogene land mammal zones MN 6 to MN 7-8) based on gastropod and mammal biostratigraphy. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | not reported | ||
| Includes fossils? | Y | ||
| Lithology description: Fossils collected in the course of the 1997 test excavation are listed only by Vencel in his herpetological chapter. It is not clear where and in which stratigraphic level this excavation exactly took place. Also, it is not clear from which rocks the fossils come. In the introductory chapter of the paper there is mention of 700 kg of lignite clay that was unsuccessfully censused in 1997. It well may be, that the amphibians and reptiles listed by Vencel come from the same rocks. | |||
| Environment: | lacustrine indet. | Tectonic setting: | intermontane basin |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body,original phosphate |
| Size of fossils: | mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection excludes: | some macrofossils |
| Collection methods: | sieve,field collection |
| Minimum sieve size: | 0.600 |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis | Collection dates: | 1997 |
| Collection method comments: The material may be reposited in the Municipal Museum of Pásztó as is that of the nearby site Mátraszőlős 1 (see PBDB colls. no. 167497 and 167509) | |
