“…14). Hölzel et al (2008) explained this differential subsidence mainly with a paleoenvironmental effect caused by the Spannberg ridge which was uplifted at the end of the Karpatian (Hölzel et al 2010). The ridge largely restricted sedimentation in the southern part during the Early Miocene.…”

“…Axis of NE-SW trending transtensional subsidence (late Karpatian). High subsidence during the late Karpatian was accelerated and further enlarged mainly by Fodor (1995), Decker (1996), Peresson and Decker (1997a, b), and Hölzel et al (2010) ▸ sinistral strike-slip duplexes and by listric faults connected to strike-slip faults. The transtensional subsidence affected most parts of the basin except the northern basement high and the Laksary horst which are considered as transpressional regime areas.…”

This study analyzes and visualizes data from 234 wells using a MATLAB-based program (BasinVis 1.0) for the sedimentary fill and subsidence evolution of the northern and central parts of the Vienna Basin. The sedimentary fills of seven selected horizons are shown in sediment distribution surfaces, thickness isopach maps, and cross-sections. The subsidence analysis from wells reaching the pre-Neogene basement results in subsidence depth and rate maps of basement and tectonic subsidence of the study area. The Vienna Basin has a complex history from a piggy-back basin phase (Early Miocene) to a pull-apart basin phase (Middle -Late Miocene). The 2D maps/3D surfaces generated in this study provide detailed insights into the polyphase basin evolution of the Vienna Basin, which is closely related to changes in the regional stress field and the paleoenvironmental setting. In the piggy-back basin phase, sedimentation and subsidence are slow, display E-W to NE-SW-trending troughs parallel to the strike of the orogen, and restricted to small depressions on top of the Alpine thrust. In the late Early Miocene, the Vienna Basin changes to a pull-apart basin system characterized by a wider sedimentation area and rapid subsidence along sinistral strike-slip faults and related normal faults. The depressions of the Early Miocene are filled with sediments supplied through deltaic systems entering from the south. After slow sedimentation and subsidence during the early Middle Miocene, the development of the Vienna Basin is controlled and accelerated by NE-SW trending synsedimentary normal faults, especially the Steinberg fault, until the Late Miocene. The Vienna Basin from the late Middle to Late Miocene is characterized by E-W extensional rift-type and decelerating subsidence, which corresponds to the E-W trending extension of the western parts of the neighboring Pannonian Basin system. During this time, enormous amounts of sediment are supplied mainly from the west by a broad paleo-Danube delta complex along the western flank of the Vienna Basin.

A detailed reconstruction of late Oligocene and Early Miocene thrusting at the leading edge of the East Alpine fold-thrust belt is achieved from well data, seismic, and interpretative cross sections. Data are used for constraining the paleogeographic positions of the Alpine thrusts, quantifying in-sequence/out-of-sequence thrust distances, assessing the timing of thrust propagation from structurally higher units into more external ones, and estimating thrust velocities. Results are depicted in five palinspastic maps for time slices betweeñ 26 Ma and~16 Ma. The termination of foreland-propagating thrusting at the Alpine front is apparently controlled by the subcrop topography of the European basement, which includes a major recess in the east leading to a diachronic along-strike termination of foreland-propagating thrusting with younger thrust ages and higher in-sequence thrust distances in the east. Early locking of foreland-propagating thrusting in the west causes prominent out-of-sequence thrusts which add to the in-sequence thrust distances there. Continuing consecutive detachment of foreland units in the east occurs at rather fast propagation velocities with time intervals between foreland-thrust-propagations ranging between 0.1 and 0.7 Ma. The resulting increase of in-sequence thrust distances from west to east is balanced by out-of-sequence thrusts in the west. The total amount of late Oligocene to Early Miocene thrusting is quantified with a minimum of 51 km. Average thrust velocities range between 4.6 and 5.2 mm/yr. This rate refers to the movement of the basal thrust at the leading edge of the fold-thrust belt, which occurs contemporaneous with the eastward lateral extrusion of the Eastern Alps in the hinterland.
