After World War II, the Hungarian State opened an ore mine that produced approximately 24,850 tons of iron ore between 1954 and 1956. Scientific research has also started, and a rich microfossil content. This material reported six new crustacean microcoprolite ichnospecies. Iron ore generation was linked to early volcanic activity in the region. Fülöp Reported macrofossils from the dumps of the ore mine (ammonites, belemnites, brachiopods, echinoids, crinoids, and gastropods) and considered their age late Valanginian.
