We consider the highly elevated paleosurface relics (e.g., Nock surface in the Austroalpine basement realm east of the Tauern window, planation surfaces in the peak region of Koralpe and Saualpe, pre-Augenstein paleosurface in the Northern Calcareous Alps) as remnants of large Paleogene planation surfaces.

We are able to reconstruct differential vertical movements of the Niedere Tauern and the Gurktal Alps during the Early/Middle Miocene.
