Part of an on-going project to identify the Hungarian diatom sites (mostly fossil, some recent).
Most references are pre-WWI, so the subsequent break-up of Hungary following the signing of the Treaty of Trianon on the 4th of June 1920, and the subsequent re-naming of villages, towns, and regions meant that some location names no longer existed.
The territorial conditions of the Treaty required Hungary to surrender more than two-thirds of its pre-war occupied land. Romania acquired Transylvania; Yugoslavia gained Croatia, Slavonia, and Vojvodina; Slovakia became a part of Czechoslovakia; and Austria also acquired a small piece of pre-war Hungarian territory.
