During its late-stage evolution, the European Alpine orogen witnessed a northwest-directed propagation of deformation front along an evaporitic basal décollement into foreland. This resulted in decoupling northern Molasse Basin from basement and formation Jura fold-and-thrust belt. Here, we present first absolute age temperature constraints on this using carbonate U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dating clumped ...

This work critically reviews the Eocene–Oligocene source-to-sink systems accumulating volcanogenic sequences in basins around Alps. Through years, these have been correlated to plutonic bodies along Periadriatic Fault System, main tectonic lineament running from West East within axis of belt. Starting large amounts data present literature, for first time we an integrated 4D model on evolution s...
