Abstract:
In the quarries of Mórágy and Bátaapáti four fold systems have been determined. It was also possible to determine the possible orogenic phases.
Editorial note (Tibor Szederkényi):
Concerning investigations carried out for the radioactive waste disposal in the Eastern Mecsek Mountains, new tectonic evaluations were made mainly in the area of the Mórágy Hill. These interpretations became widely accepted by now. However, based on field observations by other researchers, ideas different from these were formulated. The author – who is the doyen of Hungarian geology – have dealt among others more than sixty years with this topic. He has numerous statements, which are in contrast with the new interpretations. There might be
some doubts concerning his opinion on the tectonic character and development of the crystalline mass of Mórágy Hill, nevertheless, these conclusions deserve a debate. Our periodical is willing to provide a framework for these discussions.
