Then we explored more ignimbrites! We were introduced to the Wind and Eger deposits. We ended our day in sunshine at Tihamér quarry looking at debris flow, lahar and volcanogenic sedimentary deposits.

Day Five (the final day!): On our final day we visited Egerszalók caves where we learnt and discussed about geo-cultural heritage. This gave us an insight into how ignimbrite material allowed people to move into caves as homes.

Then we saw evidence of dilute currents with low angle cross bedding and acc laps - with a castle on top! Finally, some incredible manganese nodules inside the ignimbrite 🌋

Day Four: Today we explored the Demjén ignimbrite from east to west. First we saw it outcropped in a quarry with some fantastic elutriation pipes

After this we went to Ipolytarnóc and saw some primary PDCs and some old fossil footprints. Thank you to our amazing and enthusiastic guide!
Finally today we went to Tar, where we observed andesitic volcaniclastics and a debris avalanche with some big boulders!

Day One: Today on our field trip we visited Sámsonháza and saw this amazing outcrop! We looked at the contact between andesitic sills, volcaniclastics, and peperite 🌋
Lots of good rock chats and some great local food! Bring on day 2!
