Abstract
The Korpád Sandstone in the 9015 drill core (Mecsek Mts.) consists of red mudstones and interbedded calcrete crusts with sandstones and conglomerates. Calcrete microfabrics reveal micritic mottles, rhizocretions, smaller root casts and Microcodium-like aggregates. These features together with the mineralogy suggest a relatively dry climate with low amount of rainfall (100–500 mm/year) during pedogenesis. Calcite cements are interpreted to have precipitated first in an oxidizing meteoric environment; then, after initial burial, under reducing conditions.
