DESCRIPTION OF THE VÁSZOLY SECTION The investigated section is located between Vászoly and Pêcsely villages and the Lake Balaton, on the gentle eastern slope of the Öreg Hill (Fig. 1). The artificial excavation exposes a sequence of about 6 m in thickness, belonging to the Dörgicse Formation (somewhat equivalent of the formerly used "Buchenstein Beds") overlying the Anisian Megyehegy Dolomite Formation. The trench of about 10 m in length, 3 m in width and 2-3 m in depth runs in NE-SW direction. The outcropping beds are dipping southwestward at an angle of 30-40°. The beds are most intact at the bottom and on the lower part of the NW wall of the excavation, elsewhere (primarily in the SW end of the trench) they are disturbed (Fig. 2). During the collection the bed numbers used by I. SZABÓ were largely followed to avoid confusion, except for our interpretation for Bed 16/A. A concise lithologie description of the section is given below. Bed 1 - brownish crinoidal limestone (underlain by greenish-yellow dolomite, belonging to the Megyehegy Formation) 2/A- light yellow tuffaceous calcareous sandstone 2 - brownish crinoidal limestone 3/A - tuffaceous, calcareous sandstone, rich in ammonites and brachiopods 3 - bluish-grey compact dolomite, silicified in the upper part, containing a few, poorly preserved ammonites 4 - dolomitic, silicified greenish-brownish limestone with poorly preserved ammonites and brachiopods and a thin Daonella shell-bed intercalation 5 - fossiliferous biodetrital limestone, very rich in ammonites and brachiopods 6 - brownish biodetrital limestone, rich in brachiopods 7 - greenish-grey marl 8 - yellowish tuff with rare ammonites 9 - greenish-yellow tuffaceous sand with marly lenses and relatively rare ammonites Fig. 1 Locality map showing the position of the Vászoly section 10 - red tuffaceous sand with thin limestone intercalations 11 - purplish tuffaceous clay 12 - yellowish clay with numerous limestone nodules containing a very rich ammonite fauna and few brachiopods 13 - brownish-grey tuffaceous, sandy clay 14 - yellowish clay with numerous limestone nodules rich in often fragmentary ammonites 15 - olive-green tuffaceous clay with marly limestone nodules containing rare ammonites 16/A-blocks of yellowish, somewhat nodular, bedded limestone containing a very rich ammonite fauna 16 - well-bedded, pale grey or reddish, compact, slightly silicified micritic limestone 18
