Gosau-type coals of Austria and Hungary - a preliminary geochemical comparison

Trace element concentrations and distributions of Upper Cretaceous coals of Austria and Hungary are compared on the basis of their abundance and elementary ratios. Comparisons are made between the geological environments, and it is stated that, in spite of the similar sedimentation conditions, the presumed provenance area has some effect on the equality and quantity of trace element distributions, and may play an important role in the development of the trace element abundances of both regions.
