The Alpine Oligocene plutons are spatially and temporally associated with the activity of the
Periadriatic Fault System (PFS), an orogen‐parallel, crustal‐scale transpressive mylonitic …

The aim of this chapter is to present the K-Ar and Ar-Ar dating techniques in the context of
noble gas studies, since there are already several recent texts on K-Ar and Ar-Ar dating …

Abstract The Eastern Southern Alps fold‐and‐thrust belt (ESA) is part of the seismically
active S‐verging retro‐wedge of the European Alps. Its temporal tectonic evolution during …

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 …

Ductile shear zones can occur as relatively isolated single structures, as arrays, or as
characteristic paired zones. In continuous glaciated exposures of metagranodiorites from the …

In the Neves area, the pre-Alpine intrusive protolith of the Zentralgneise unit (Tauern
window, Eastern Alps) is well preserved in a kilometric-scale low-strain domain without …

K–Ar ages from clay-rich fault gouges in the European Alps are consistent internally, with
established field constraints and with fission track ages, demonstrating the applicability of …

Abstract The Tauern Window exposes a Paleogene nappe stack consisting of highly
metamorphosed oceanic (Alpine Tethys) and continental (distal European margin) thrust …

Data supporting relevant Late Cretaceous–Early Eocene sinistral displacement along the
Giudicarie fault zone and a minor Neogene dextral displacement along the Periadriatic …

Structural, metamorphic, and geochronologic work shows that the Ampelos/Dilek nappe of
the Cycladic blueschist unit in the eastern Aegean constitutes a wedge of high‐pressure …
