a Topographic profile with position of the samples and measured thermochronological data. AFT apatite fission track, AHe apatite (U–Th–[Sm])/He, ZFT zircon fission track, ZHe zircon (U–Th)/He. Large spread of AHe ages hampers any attempts of correlation with topography. b Apatite fission track length data. Explanation in histograms (from top): sample code; mean track length ± SD (both in μm); number of measured tracks. c All data displayed on a radial plot (Galbraith 1988; Vermeesch 2009), clearly showing minimum difference between AFT and ZHe ages, pointing to a fast cooling in the Eocene. ZFT and AHe form well separated clusters related to different thermal events
