“…The mountain range forms part of the Tisza Mega-unit (Csontos, 1995;Csontos et al, 2002). This area became part of the European continent at the end of the Variscan orogeny, and rifted off the European shelf at the end of the Jurassic (Haas et al, 1999;Csontos et al, 2002). The complex movement of crustal plates resulted in amalgamation and the Tisza Mega-unit reached its current position during the Palaeogene and Neogene (Csontos et al, 2002).…”
