Miocene Submarine to Subaerial Volcaniclastic Deposits and Exhumed Volcanic Landforms Along the Danube Bend in North Hungary: http://www.iugg2015prague.com/long-field-trips.htm#C6
In addition to the information available at the website, some details of the field trip are as follows:
● 1st day, departure from Prague ca. 8.00 am, afternoon: Kemenes Volcano Park Visitor Center
Arrival at Budapest hotel ca. 19.15
● 2nd day, Börzsöny Mountains, moderate hiking; departure from Budapest 8.00 am
Stop 1 Nagy Valley, volcanogenic sandstone, discussion: submarine vs subaerial volcaniclastic sedimentation
Stop 2 Királyrét, ’Kismaros Tuff’, discussion: tuff – tuffite, submarine ignimbrite emplacement
Stop 3 Nagy-Hideg-hegy–Csóványos erosion caldera rim hiking, block-and-ash flow breccias alternating with platy jointed lava flows; discussion: dome collapse vs lava flow conditions from same or similar magma composition; stratified vs unstratified block-and-ash breccias; paleovalley fill; long-term erosion, exhumed valley-filling deposits. Arrival at Budapest 19.30
