In the Transdanubian Range (Hungary), a wide spectrum of Triassic dolomites is known. Mechanism of dolomitization of the platform carbonate successions was subject of a number of studies but the study of dolomitization of basinal carbonates is very limited. Petrographical and isotope–geochemical characteristics of the Upper Triassic dolomitized carbonate deposits, formed in a fault-controlled intraplatform basin, and interpretation of the dolomite-forming processes are presented in the current paper. From the latest Carnian to Middle Norian under semi-arid climatic conditions density-driven flux of seawater derived mesohaline fluids was the dominant mechanism of the near-surface pervasive dolomitization of the thick platform carbonate succession. In the late Middle Norian incipient rifting of the Alpine Tethys led to establishment of an extensional structural regime and onset of the formation of the Kössen Basin. In the study area, above the dolomitized platform carbonate succession, platform-derived carbonate sediments were accumulated in a fault-bounded, semi-restricted sub-basin of the Kössen Basin, whereas talus breccias and debrites were deposited near a basin-bounding master fault. The basin deposits (lower and upper members of the Rezi Dolomite Formation) were subject of early diagenetic dolomitization in shallow burial setting. Enhanced salinity seawater was the dolomitizing fluid; the synsedimentary fracturing may have promoted the fluid flow and thereby the dolomitization. Thick-bedded carbonates (middle member of the Rezi Dolomite Formation) representing a progradational tongue of the ambient platform are intercalated between the basin deposits. The dolomitization of this unit can be explained by the reflux model.
