Palaeotopography related plant succession stages in a coal forming deltaic succession in early Jurassic in Hungary

According to the results, Máza-South was a small area located very close to the bayline between the alluvial plain and the coastal plain of a delta, less favourable for intensive plant growing where dry land was restricted to levees and crevasse splays. This resulted in more dynamic plant changes, typical for deltaic peripheral territories. In contrast, Rücker represents the central part of the delta plain environment dominated by woody forms of large growth. In the uppermost sequence plant composition at Máza-South became similar to that of Rücker indicating that, with transgression, the central delta plain environment, permanent at Rücker, advanced towards the peripheral zone represented by Máza-South.
