This monograph summarizes our current knowledge on the richly fossiliferous Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous formations of the Bakony through the work of 22 authors from seven countries.  The first part of the volume is about the geology and stratigraphy of the studied 18 sections, and the second part comprises the palaeontological descriptions of the main fossil groups studied, including radiolarians, calpionellids, ostracods, corals, bivalves, gastropods, ammonites, belemnites, brachiopods, crinoids and fish.
Our aim was to give a comprehensive picture about the large fossil material which was piled up by our predecessors over the last 150 years, and which remained – at least partly –, largely untouched in museums and storehouses. Studies of the macro- and microfauna and the nannofossils, provided a basis for revised, high-resolution biostratigraphic framework. Biostratigraphic data were integrated with outcrop-scale structural geological observations, magnetostratigraphic results and geochemical analysis, including stable isotope and elemental geochemistry, leading to a comprehensive model of Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous paleoenvironment and sedimentary basin evolution of the region. These data may contribute substantially to the better understanding of the Mesozoic evolution of the south-eastern part of the Transdanubian Range.
Since the base of the Cretaceous still lacks the Golden Spike, i.e. the formal designation of the Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP), our results may contribute also towards the definition of the last missing system boundary of the global geochronological table.
