“…The massive input of detritus to the drainage system pre‐existing the volcanism or developed during inter‐eruptive periods will force rapid aggradation and progradation of volcaniclastic sequences into the basin even when the source to sink system does not present suitable conditions for this type of accumulation. However, dispersion of the pyroclastic detritus is not only controlled by the relief and drainage network but also by the physical behaviour of the volcanoes (Blair & McPherson, ; Branney & Kokelaar, ; Sulpizio et al ., ; Szepesi et al ., 2019). Therefore, sedimentation may also take place in topographically‐high areas which would never receive and store sediments in a non‐volcanic environment.…”

This work focuses on the transition from the Las Leoneras to Lonco Trapial Formations, in the lower part of the Early Jurassic succession of the incipient rift phase of the Cañadon Asfalto Basin (western part of Chubut Province -Patagonia, Argentina). Twenty lithofacies have been identified and grouped into seven facies associations on the basis of field characteristics (sedimentological and lithological) and optical microscope analysis, from two localities representing proximal and distal locations in the basin. The spatial relationship between all the lithofacies provided a four-dimensional reconstruction of the palaeoenvironmental evolution, showing how the original, clastic sedimentation in alluvial/fluvial and lake environments was modified by shortlived volcanic events during three volcanic cycles, and how the environment reacted after the input of huge amounts of volcaniclastics. Progradation of small deltas and subaqueous lobes, retrogradation caused by rising lake levels, and frequent erosion of valleys were typical processes in this environment. When explosive volcanism began, the original tectono-climatic control on sedimentation was replaced by the volcanic control, and the volcanicallyforced sedimentation broke the equilibrium among production, delivery and accumulation of sediments. The nature of the volcanic eruptions and the different propensity of volcanic lithofacies to produce particles of different size and types (lithics, crystals and glass) are also analyzed. The role of volcanism in the production and transport of great volumes of sediments across sedimentary systems needs to be carefully re-examined, and the analysis on the variability in the composition of volcaniclastic deposits must take into account that volcaniclastic particle types may not simply reflect a linear deepening in the dissection of magmatic arcs through time but are often controlled by the style of the eruptions and the lithological variation of the volcanic products.

“…During the concomitant fieldwork, the outcrops attained from the available geological maps were identified and logged using lithology/lithofacies as a basic mapping unit. Horizontal and vertical correlations allowed for the recognition of Miocene volcanic centers and the establishment of a new stratigraphic and evolutional framework for TM (e.g., Szepesi et al 2018bSzepesi et al , 2019.

Identification of Geoheritage Elements in a Cultural Landscape: a Case Study from Tokaj Mts, Hungary

Cultural landscapes were developed as a result of continuous interaction between nature and human culture. During their evolution, the geodiversity was also considerably influenced by human activities. Recently, geoheritage studies have become more sensitive towards man-made cultural landmarks. In this paper, we explore a methodology to compile a regional inventory for a historic mountainous cultural landscape with remarkable geological, volcanological, and mining heritage in Tokaj Mts, (NE Hungary). The databases of the natural and cultural heritage contribute to the extension of regional inventories with a large number of geodiversity-related records. The specific selection procedure with a combination of GIS and fieldwork assessment resulted in the final list of potential sites. The applied three stage classification forms a basis for territorial analysis. The selected 60 geosites of 700 km 2 represents well the geological history of the study area, while another 160 geodiversity and geocultural sites emphasize further enhancement of natural and cultural diversity. The functional classification referring to the physical nature of the sites was useful to define specific conservation management priorities. The thematic grouping of the sites defined new interpretation possibilities for geotourism and geoeducation taking into account volcanological, geomorphological, and mining heritage values.

Detailed analyses of mineral composition and whole-rock geochemical data helped to unravel the volcanic plumbing system beneath the rhyolitic Šumovit Greben lava dome, the westernmost member of the Kožuf-Voras volcanic system (N. Macedonia). It is characterized by high SiO2 content (> 70 wt%) coupled with low MgO (< 1 wt%) and Sr (< 500 ppm) suggesting fractionation of clinopyroxene and plagioclase at depth forming a crystal mush and a crystal-poor rhyolitic lens by fractional crystallization and melt extraction on top of it. The crystal mush is composed of mainly clinopyroxene, biotite and plagioclase, whereas sanidine and plagioclase are the most abundant phenocrysts of the rhyolitic lens. The main dome forming event occurred at ca. 2.9 Ma, which sampled the crystal-poor rhyolitic lens. After a short quiescence time, an explosive eruption occurred depositing a massive lapilli tuff layer northwest of the lava dome, and an extrusion of a small-volume lava flow on the northern side of the lava dome at ca. 2.8 Ma. This latter sampled also the crystal mush, as it contains abundant glomeroporphyritic clots of clinopyroxene ± plagioclase ± biotite. The clinopyroxene phenocrysts are chemically homogeneous, their crystallization temperature is ca. 900 °C representing the crystal mush, whereas the plagioclase and the sanidine crystallized at a lower temperature (ca. 790 °C) representing the rhyolitic lens. Noble gas isotopic composition of the clinopyroxene indicate no mantle-derived fluids (< 0.5%) having an R/Ra of ca. 0.04 Ra. The rejuvenation of the system probably occurred due to implementation of mafic magma at depth leading to a heat transfer and partial melting of the cumulate. This led to crystallization of Ba-rich rims of the sanidine and An- and Sr-rich rims of the plagioclase. The crystal mush zone beneath Šumovit Greben might be connected to the nearby, more mafic volcanic centers, and the eruption of Šumovit Greben could have been the start of the last cycle in the lifetime of the Kožuf-Voras volcanic system.
