Buda Hills

The Budaörs dolomite of Anisian-Carnian age (Triassic period) is the oldest formation which crops out in the Buda Hills.

[2][3] The Triassic surface is composed of karstified carbonates,[4] which are overlain by an Upper Eocene succession made of conglomerate beds.

[5] During the period from the terminal Cretaceous to Priabonian, the area was a karstic terrestrial environment displaying distinct relief differences.

The continental period (ended by the transgression in Late Eocene) was characterized by the formation of small fans at the slope foot.

The Late Eocene transgression reworked accumulated terrestrial sediments.
