“…According to Prey (1979), Faupl and Wagreich (1992) and Faupl (1996) the Laab Nappe, regarded as the prolongation of the Bile Karpaty Unit (Elias et al 1990), was situated originally between the Greifenstein and Kahlenberg Nappes. However, other authors (Oberhauser 1995;Mattern andWang 2008) state that the Laab Nappe was originally north of the Greifenstein Nappe. Recently, Egger (in Egger and Wessely 2014) included the Kahlenberg Nappe in the Greifenstein Nappe as the Kahlenberg and Satzberg digitations (?recumbent folds) and the Northern Zone (Tulbingerkogel unit), similarly to Grün et al 1972, he regarded as a marginal part of that nappe (Egger and Wessely 2014).…”

In the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous palaeogeography of the Alpine Tethys the term Ocean is used for different parts of these sedimentary areas: eg. Ligurian – Piedmont and Penninic, Magura, Pieniny, Valais and Ceahlau-Severins oceans. The Magura Ocean occupied the more northern position in the Alpine-Carpathian arc. During the Late Cretaceous–Paleogene tectono-sedimentary evolution the Magura Ocean was transformed into several (Magura, Dukla, Silesian, sub-Silesian and Skole) basins and intrabasinal source area ridges now incorporated into the Outer Western Carpathians.

“…These rocks were deposited in an oxygen-starved environment during one of the several Cretaceous global anoxic events (probably OAE1a; Takashima et al 2006). Such lithologies are widespread in the Subbriançonnais units of eastern Switzerland (Schams, Tasna and Falknis nappes, e.g., Rück and Schreurs 1995), the Rhenodanubian Flysch Zone (e.g., Mattern and Wang 2008) and the Valaisan units of Switzerland and Savoie (e.g., Bertle 2004;Loprieno et al 2011). The similarity of the sequences of the Seidlwinkl fold nappe (Modereck Nappe system) exposed along the Grossglockner road (Frasl and Frank 1966) and the External Valais Units of the Versoyen (Loprieno et al 2011) is striking: a Cretaceous post-rift sequence directly transgresses a Germanic-type Triassic prerift sequence (see column 5 of Fig.…”

The Tauern Window (Eastern Alps, Austria): a new tectonic map, with cross-sections and a tectonometamorphic synthesis

We present a tectonic map of the Tauern Window and surrounding units (Eastern Alps, Austria), combined with a series of crustal-scale cross-sections parallel and perpendicular to the Alpine orogen. This compilation, largely based on literature data and completed by own investigations, reveals that the present-day structure of the Tauern Window is primarily characterized by a crustal-scale duplex, the Venediger Duplex (Venediger Nappe system), formed during the Oligocene, and overprinted by doming and lateral extrusion during the Miocene. This severe Miocene overprint was most probably triggered by the indentation of the Southalpine Units east of the Giudicarie Belt, initiating at 23-21 Ma and linked to a lithosphere-scale reorganization of the geometry of mantle slabs. A kinematic reconstruction shows that accretion of European lithosphere and oceanic domains to the Adriatic (Austroalpine) upper plate, accompanied by highpressure overprint of some of the units of the Tauern Window, has a long history, starting in Turonian time (around 90 Ma) and culminating in Lutetian to Bartonian time (45-37 Ma).

“…Picha et al (2006) pointed out, that the Wolfpassing Formation shows similarities to the Hluk Formation from the Bile Karpaty Unit (Magura Nappe) of Barremian -Albian age which is made up by black shales, marls and bioclastic limestones with cherts. The Bile Karpaty Unit is regarded as a prolongation of the Laab Nappe (Eliáš et al, 1990;Picha et al, 2006), however according to Oberhauser (1995), Trautwein et al (2001) and Mattern and Wang (2008) this unit may have been originally situated north of the Greifenstein Nappe.…”

Calcareous arenitic rocks exposed in the Dopplerhütte and Tulbingerkogel quarries northwest of Vienna were studied to establish their stratigraphic age. The whole succession is a part of the "Northern Zone" -the Tulbingerkogel thrust sheet -which represents the external part of the Wienerwald Flysch. These rocks were regarded commonly as Neocomian, however the analyses of the foraminifera within the intercalations of marly limestones proved the presence of Globorotalia sp. and assemblages with the index species Spiroplectinata annectens (Parker et Jones). Therefore, the depositional age of the studied rocks can be estimated neither older than Albian nor younger than Cenomanian. This indicates that also during the Albian calcareous sedimentation persisted within the northernmost unit of the Rhenodanubian Flysch Zone, which probably represented a detached part of the southern slope of the European continental margin and / or the Penninic Ocean.Es wurden die arenitischen Kalkgesteine, die in den Steinbrüchen bei der Dopplerhütte und am Tulbinger Kogel nördlich von Wien aufgeschlossen sind, einer Studie unterzogen, um ihr stratigraphisches Alter zu erhärten. Die gesamte Abfolge ist Teil der "Nordzone" -Tulbingerkogel Schuppe -welche den externen Abschnitt des Wienerwald-Flysches vertritt. Diese Gesteine wurden herkömm-lich als Neokom-Klippen bezeichnet, jedoch erbrachten Untersuchungen der Foraminiferen aus Einschaltungen von mergeligen Kalken den Nachweis der Anwesenheit von Vergesellschaftungen mit Globorotalia sp. und der Leitform Spiroplectinata annectens (Parker et Jones). Daher können nach der Altersabschätzung die untersuchten Gesteine nicht älter als Albium und nicht jünger als Cenomanium sein. Dies zeigt an, dass im jüngeren Albium kalkige Sedimentation innerhalb der Nordzone andauerte, welche letztere wahrscheinlich einen abgetrennten Teil des südlichen Hanges der Europäischen Platte bzw des penninischen Ozeans darstellt.
