Two well-preserved outcrops ~8 km apart and inferred to bewithin ~10–50 km from source represent the discontinuously exposed, layered, paleosol-bounded,phreatomagmatic JatóMember. They show an identical phenocrystal assemblage of feldspar, biotite and amphibolewithout weathered zones or signs of erosion, that suggest deposition in one eruption phase lasting hours tomonths. The succession contains three subunits: 1) subunit A, 1.8 m thick, a series of well-sorted fine to coarseash or lapilli tuff layers with constant thickness; 2) subunit B, 2.1 m thick, a series of normal-graded layerswith an upper fine-grained zone containing abundant ash aggregates with a coarser-grained core and distinctivelyfiner-grained outer rim; 3) subunit C, 4.5 m thick, a massive, poorly to well-sorted coarse ash with gas escapestructures and ash aggregates at its base. The upward change of these lithofacies implies an initiallysustained dry fallout-dominated deposition of ash and pumice lapilli resulting in subunit A. Subsequently, multiplewet and dilute Pyroclastic Density Currents (PDCs) dispersed subunits B and C. The general abundance ofPDC-related ash aggregates in the middle-upper part of the succession (particularly in subunit B), and the transformationof a fall-dominated to a collapsing depositional regime producing wet dilute PDCs, imply the increasinginfluence of water during the eruption (Phreatoplinian sensu lato). The presence of water is related to anepicontinental sea duringMiddle to LateMiocene in the Carpatho-Pannonian region. The transition from an initialdry magmatic phase generated fallout activity followed by the emplacement of wet PDCs' rich in ash aggregates,when external water infiltrated from a surrounding lake or sea water entered the vent.
