Abstract
The Lipovany and Mucin paleobotanical localities contain important floral associations within the tuff horizons, which were used for determination of subtropical to tropical climatic conditions during the Early Miocene. Based on the combination of results from plagioclase and biotite 40 Ar/ 39 Ar dating, the age of the tuff deposition is around 17.3Ma. For the Lipovany locality, single-grain 40 Ar/ 39 Ar convergent ages of 17.49±0.54Ma and 17.28±0.06Ma, for plagioclase and biotite were obtained, respectively. The Mucin locality only provide an imprecise convergent age of 16.5±1.4Ma due to the small size of the analyzed plagioclase crystals. The results thus allowed to include the fossil subtropical flora of the studied localities in the late Ottnangian regional stage (upper part of the Burdigalian). Additionally, these age data indicate that deposition of the overlaying Salgotarjan Formation starts much later than originally thought (during Ottnangian-Karpatian boundary).
