Fig. 1

Neogene fault pattern in the Eastern Alps (modified after Neubauer et al. 2000). Note the ca. eastward motion of the Neogene extruding wedge. The extrusion wedge is confined by the dextral Periadriatic fault and the sinistral Salzach-Enns- (earlier) and Mur-Mürz (later) wrench corridors. Note also the exhumed Tauern metamorphic core complex (Tauern window in the figure)
