“…In the central and southern part of the basin deposition of the Zagyva / Volkovce Formation continued through the Pliocene and is overlain by Quaternary fluvial deposits. The stratigraphic boundary is usually marked by the appearance of gravelly beds (Janáček 1971;Kőrössy 1987;Gábris & Nádor 2007;Kováč et al 2011). In the "Little Hungarian Plain Volcanic Field" (Martin et al 2003), latest Miocene to Pliocene volcanic bodies of the Tapolca Basalt Formation occur locally above or within the Zagyva / Volkovce Formation.…”

Abstract:The Danube / Kisalföld Basin is the north-western sub-basin of the Pannonian Basin System. The lithostratigraphic subdivision of the several-km-thick Upper Miocene to Pliocene sedimentary succession related to Lake Pannon has been developed independently in Slovakia and Hungary. A study of the sedimentary formations across the entire basin led us to claim that these formations are identical or similar between the two basin parts to such an extent that their correlation is indeed a matter of nomenclature only. Nemčiňany corresponds to the Kálla Formation, representing locally derived coarse clastics along the basin margins (11-9.5 Ma). The deep lacustrine sediments are collectively designated the Ivanka Formation in Slovakia, while in Hungary they are subdivided into Szák (fine-grained transgressive deposits above basement highs, 10.5 -8.9 Ma), Endrőd (deep lacustrine marls, 11.6 -10 Ma), Szolnok (turbidites, 10.5 -9.2 Ma) and Algyő Formations (fine-grained slope deposits, 10 -9 Ma). The Beladice Formation represents shallow lacustrine deltaic deposits, fully corresponding to Újfalu (10.5 -8.7 Ma). The overlying fluvial deposits are the Volkovce and Zagyva Formations (10 -6 Ma). The synoptic description and characterization of these sediments offer a basin-wide insight into the development of the basin during the Late Miocene. The turbidite systems, the slope, the overlying deltaic and fluvial systems are all genetically related and are coeval at any time slice after the regression of Lake Pannon initiated about 10 Ma ago. All these formations get younger towards the S, SE as the progradation of the shelf-slope went on. The basin got filled up to lake level by 8.7 Ma, since then fluvial deposition dominated.

“…1). The wide valley bottom found here was being cut by the Ancient Tisza and Ancient Szamos rivers for thousands of years, however, rivers left this area at around 13-14 thousand years BP due to the tectonic subsidence of the North Great Plain (Gábris -Nádor 2007;Thamó-Bozsó et al 2007). Today only the small channel of the Ér river runs across the area.…”

Studying the development of fluvial landforms in the Berettyó-Körös Region using geoinformatic methods

Development of fluvial landforms from 1980 till nowadays was studied based on digital elevation maps (DEM) composed from contour lines of topographic maps, field data obtained by RTK GPS and aerial photos taken by a drone. Greatest denudation of 6-9 metres was measured in the eastern side of the erosional valley at Pocsaj caused by piping and mass movements. As a result, the valley widened and slightly deepened. Since 1980 around 1-2 metres of accumulation and erosion of similar rate have been measured in the secured floodplain environment dissected by abandoned beds, point-bars and swales at Kismarja. These values, however, rather reflect the geometric uncertainties and deficiencies of the contours of topographic maps than real land changes. Therefore topographic maps can give reliable basis for studying the development of lowland landforms only if they depict adequately large sized (minimum 100 x 100 m) positive or negative forms with great height difference as well (minimum 8-10 m). Accuracy of DEMs composed from aerial photos using photogrammetric methods -taking off height faults caused by vegetation -is around the same as that of the models created on the basis of RTK GPS measurements.

“…Such environments are not wholly representative of fluvial environments at the present day, although they may have been more common during some parts of the geological past (cf. see above; Bridgland and Westaway, 2014/this issue); characterized by large flat plains, often drained by multiple river systems, as with the Pannonian Basin of Hungary (Gábris and Nádor, 2007), they can scarcely even be termed valleys.…”
