They were spread over areas which were dry during the Tertiary Period and were not covered by sediments. The climate of the Quaternary Period eroded them, so that today they can only be found in areas where they were protected against degradation or where their thickness and resilience could withstand the forces of erosion. Thus, red clays are fossil or relic products of soil formation. Since both their water regime and nutrient supply differ from soils formed in the Holocene, their economic importance is far from negligible; vineyards, forests and arable cultivation can be found on these areas. Their influence may be seen in more extensive territories where they were washed away, settled and became mixed with other soils.","PeriodicalId":107929,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geologica Hungarica","volume":"163 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114003119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tools of classical statistics are often not applicable because they strongly depend on certain conditions that are not fulfilled. Explicit mathematical formulas for standard errors and confidence intervals with respect to a parameter either require some specific (generally normal) distribution, or they do not exist at all. Hypothesis tests may also only be carried out if some conditions are satisfied. Using the bootstrap method one can simulate the unknown distribution of an arbitrary statistic by its bootstrap replicates; hence any characteristics (standard error, confidence intervals, and test significance levels) can be obtained through direct empirical calculations.

This is the first report on the occurrence of pegmatite from this unit, which indicates a Variscan age (≯ 307.9 ± 12.0 Ma) for igneous activity. Amphibolite facies metamorphism is dated based on K-Ar measurement of amphibole from amphibolite that gave age of 338 Ma. K-Ar ages of muscovite and of some amphiboles depend on the degree of mylonitization of the host micaschists and amphibolite, and range from 284.8 ± Ma to 211 ± 9 Ma.

The almost continuous development and the remarkable abundance of fossils permitted the elaboration of an Anisian-Carnian dasycladacean biostratigraphy.
