“…1). This large unnamed fault, which is indicated on the tectonic map by Kröll and Wessely (1993) and Lee and Wagreich (2016), separates the basin margin with RKB 5260 and RKB 5300 from the Vösendorf Basin in which RKB 7260 was drilled. The tectonic offset between RKB 5260 and RKB 7260 ranges ~17 m. For both faults, the tectonic activity must have postdated the Pannonian M. hoernesi Zone and is thus younger than ~10.6 Ma, corresponding to the middle Pannonian tectonic subsidence phase of Hölzel et al (2008).…”

Sarmatian and Pannonian cores, drilled at the western margin of the Vienna Basin in the City of Vienna, reveal a complex succession of marine and lacustrine depositional environments during the middle to late Miocene transition. Two Sarmatian and two Pannonian transgressive-regressive sequences were studied in detail. Identical successions of benthic faunal assemblages and similar patterns in magnetic susceptibility logs characterise these sequences. This allows a correlation of the boreholes over a distance of ~3.5 km across one of the major marginal faults of the Vienna Basin. Biostratigraphic data, combined with rough estimates of sedimentation rates, reveal large gaps between these sequences, suggesting that only major transgressions reached this marginal area. In particular, during the Sarmatian-Pannonian transition, the basin margin completely emerged and turned into a terrestrial setting for at least 600 ka.

“…The Leoben and Mürtztal basins formed to the east of the Fohnsdorf and Seckau basins, which is now the area of St. Marein and Mürzzuschlag (Sachsenhofer et al, ; Schuster et al, ). The eastern extent of the MMF marks the transition to the Vienna basin, a polyphase basin that formed between 16 and 9 Ma (e.g., Decker, ; Fodor, ; Lee & Wagreich, ). Formation of the Vienna basin coincided with the main phase (18–15 Ma) of subsidence and sedimentation in the pull‐apart basins and the Lavantal basin, which evolved along the PLF (e.g., Kurz et al, ; Pischinger et al, ; Sachsenhofer et al, ).…”

Cooling and Vertical Motions of Crustal Wedges Prior to, During, and After Lateral Extrusion in the Eastern Alps: New Field Kinematic and Fission Track Data from the Mur‐Mürz Fault System

New structural and thermochronological (zircon and apatite fission track) data from the eastern most Alps highlight distinct deformation phases affecting the Austroalpine unit along a major sinistral strike-slip fault system, the Mur-Mürz fault (MMF). The data link deformation to vertical motions prior to, during, and after the main phase of lateral extrusion of the orogen. Zircon fission track ages document rapid (ca. 15°C/Myr) and diachronous (eastward younging) cooling and rock exhumation during the latest Cretaceous to Paleocene. Subsequent regional Eocene to early Miocene cooling below the closure temperature of the apatite fission track system occurred at slow rates (ca. 2°C/Myr), suggesting that the region was not subject to major surface uplift and erosion during that period. Fault kinematic analysis along the MMF document pre-extrusion NNW-SSE contraction, middle Miocene syn-extrusion NE-SW to NNE-SSW directed shortening, and Late Miocene E-W contraction. All phases are characterized by strike-slip fault regimes. Formation of the complex MMF zone triggered the exhumation of small, fault-bound crustal blocks within the fault zone as documented by middle Miocene apatite fission track ages. Overall, ages are similar on both sides of the fault suggesting that lateral extrusion along the MMF was not associated with significant differential vertical motions. Local Pliocene rock cooling and exhumation was probably related to the buttressing effect of the underthrust Bohemian basement spur. Whereas large-scale, post-extrusion surface uplift of the extruding crustal wedges, such as the "Styrian block," must have been related to long-wavelength deformation processes affecting the easternmost Alps.
