Abstract

Extensive quarries next to the village of Bulhary in southern Slovakia exposed internal parts of one of the maar-di- atreme volcanoes in the Pliocene/Quaternary Southern Slovakia Alkali Basalt Field. The volcano evolved in 5 stages: (1) maar formation by phreatomagmatic eruptions; (2) emplacement of a laccolith-like intrusive body into maar/diatreme filling; (3) creati - on of hyaloclastite breccias and phreatomagmatic tuffs with spatter due to a direct contact of magma with water in the maar lake; (4) several cycles of the Surtseyan- and Hawaiian-type eruptions; (5) final Hawaiian-type eruptions giving rise to the capping horizon of cinder and spatter.
