“…For the appropriate biostratigraphic and paleoenvironmental interpretations, the Late Miocene Lake Pannon division after Magyar et al (1999) was used as well as the modern chronostratigraphic and biostratigraphic correlation scheme for the Mediterranean and Paratethys (Gradstein et al 2004;Vasiliev et al 2004;Kováč et al 2006;Piller et al 2007;Harzhauser & Mandic 2008 -Fig. 4).…”

Abstract:The Late Miocene sublittoral marls of the Pannonian Stage (the long-lived Lake Pannon) were studied. From neotectonic point of view, the investigated area represents a natural border between two different morphostructural domains: the Pannonian Basin to the north and the Peri-Pannonian Realm to the south. More than 20 mollusc and 34 ostracod species were identified which indicate the upper part of the Lower Pannonian and the lower part of the Middle Pannonian ("Serbian") predominantly. The identified dinoflagellate cyst assemblage (21 taxa) hinders assignment of the studied samples to a Pannonian substage but supports the high endemism of the Pannonian flora. The lithostratigraphical, paleontological, and paleoecological analyses indicate a mesohaline (8-16 ‰), sublittoral ( < 90 m deep) environment of the early Lake Pannon. The estimated stratigraphic range for the investigated deposits is 9.8-11.4 Ma. ·

“…Lake Pannon (Magyar et al 1999), surrounded by the East Alpine-Western Carpathian and Dinaride mountain chains, developed due to the isolation of this part of the Central Paratethys Sea from the Eastern Paratethys and the Mediterranean (Royden & Horváth 1988;Horváth 1993;Rögl 1998;Kováč et al 1999Kováč et al , 2006Kováč et al , 2010Magyar et al 1999;Konečný et al 2002;Popov et al 2006;Harzhauser & Mandič 2008). The specific environmental conditions of the lake are confirmed by an enormously diversified endemic mollusc fauna, which suffered selective rapid phylogenetic radiation (Magyar et al 1999;Harzhauser & Mandič 2008;Magyar 2009).…”

Abstract:The development of the northern Danube Basin (nDB) was closely related to the Late Miocene geodynamic evolution of the Pannonian Basin System. It started with a wide rifting which led to subsidence of several basin depocenters which were gradually filled during the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene. In the Late Pliocene the subsidence continued only in the basin's central part, while the northern marginal zone suffered inversion and the uplifted sedimentary fill began to be eroded. Individual stages of the basin development are well recorded in its sedimentary succession, where at least three great tectono-sedimentary cycles were documented. Firstly, a lacustrine cycle containing Lower, Middle and lowermost Upper Pannonian sediments (A-F Zones; sensu Papp 1951) deposited in the time span 11.6-8.9 Ma and is represented in the nDB in Slovakia by the Ivanka and Beladice Formations. In the Danube Basin of the southern part in Hungary, where the formations are defined by the appearance of sedimentary facies in time and space, the equivalents are: (1) the deep-water setting marls, clays and sandy turbidites of the Endrőd and Szolnok Formations leading to the overlying strata deposits of the basin paleoslope or delta-slope represented by the Algyő Formation, and (2) the final shallow-water setting deposits of marshes, lagoons and a coastal and delta plain composed of clays, sands and coal seams, represented by the Újfalu Formation. The second tectono-sedimentary cycle was deposited in an alluvial environment and it comprises the Upper Pannonian (G and H Zones; sensu Papp 1951) and Lower Pliocene sediments dated 8.9-4.1? Ma. The cycle is represented in the nDB, by the Volkovce Formation and in the southern part by the Zagyva Formation in Hungary. The sedimentary environment is characterized by a wide range of facies from fluvial, deltaic and ephemeral lake to marshes. The third tectono-sedimentary cycle comprises the Upper Pliocene sediments. In Slovakia these are represented by the Kolárovo Formation dated 4.1-2.6 Ma. The formation contains material of weathering crust preserved in fissures of Mesozoic carbonates, diluvial deposits and sediments of the alluvial environment.

M., Kováè, M., Hók, J., Šujan, M., Braucher, R., Rybár, S., de Leeuw, A., 2017. Late Mio cene flu vial distributary system in the north ern Dan ube Ba sin (Pannonian Ba sin Sys tem): depositional pro cesses, strati graphic ar chi tec ture and con trolling fac tors of the Piešïany Mem ber (Volkovce For ma tion). Geo log i cal Quar terly, 61 (3): 521-548, doi: 10.7306/gq.1360Aim of the study was to in ves ti gate the de tailed strati graphic ar chi tec ture of the al lu vial Volkovce For ma tion, which was de pos ited in the north ern Dan ube Ba sin dur ing the in ter val be tween 10 and 6 Ma. Two type lo cal ity ex po sures were sub ject to fa cies anal y sis and in ter pre ta tion of depositional pro cesses and >500 bore holes served for cor re la tion of spa tial vari abil ity in the char ac ter of the for ma tion. The study was fo cused on the north ern Blatné and west ern Rišòovce de pres sions, which are partly sep a rated by the Považský Inovec Moun tains horst. It was re vealed, that a mostly grav elly flu vial distributary system of the Piešïany Mem ber was de pos ited in the north ern Blatné de pres sion, partly con fined by the ex posed horst and by in cised palaeotopography. The se quence is com posed of amal gam ated braided river chan nel bod ies with no overbank strata, in re sponse to high sed i ment sup ply and low ac com mo da tion. The palaeo-stream then crossed the horst in its southern part to wards the Rišòovce de pres sion, where there was four times more ac com mo da tion. The sub merged horst acted as a bound ary, where the depositional pro cesses changed to a me an der ing river and sig nif i cant overbank de pos its started to be pre served. Only small streams were pres ent in the north ern Rišòovce de pres sion, which led to very low sed i ment sup ply com pared to the high ac com mo da tion there. The depositional sys tem was af fected mainly by the in cised palaeotopography, by the lo ca tion of sed i ment in put to gether with spa tial dif fer ences in ac com mo da tion rate caused by the ac tiv ity of the Ripòany Fault on the south east ern side of the Považský Inovec Mts.
