Fig. 4. Lithological profile of the Hamuháza section (after GÉCZY, 1983) 1,2 = samples 2. The Carixian (Ibex Zone) pink limestone with manganese nodules has a "Hierlatz character" according to GÉCZY (1976). In the opinion of VÖRÖS (1983) this is not "Hierlatzkalk" but red ferromanganiferous biomicrite. Its macrofauna contains ammonites, brachiopods, crinoids and corals. The very thin Carixian limestone rests on the Earliest Jurassic (Hettangian) limestone and is covered by Toarcian beds. 3. According to GÉCZY (1971) the Kericser section contains two "ammonitico rosso limestone" parts: a lower one in the Ibex zone (Carixian) and an upper one in the Spinatum zone (Domerian). In the view of VÖRÖS (1983) the whole Pliensbachian section is a "Hierlatz-type" limestone. The "lower red limestone" contains in its macrofauna ammonites, nautiloids, belemnitoids, brachiopods, crinoids, bivalves, gastropods. The "upper red limestone" (Domerian) contains ammonites, brachiopods, crinoids, siliceous sponges 4. The upper part of the Hamuháza section (Domerian, Stokesi zone) composed of "ammonitico rosso limestone" with ammonites, bivalves, gastropods, brachiopods, crinoids (GÉCZY, 1983). The elaboration of the microfauna, especially the ostracods and bivalves (Bositra)., have been financially supported by the Hungarian National Research Fund (OTKA) project No. T 4431 of J. SZABÓ.
