This publication is a catalogue of Cenozoic lithostratigraphic units of Austria. They are arranged according to the major tectonic units including Cenozoic sediments and sedimentary rocks in a geographic arrangement from west to east and in stratigraphic order from older to younger. The tectonic units relevant for the Cenozoic are the Austroalpine Unit, Helvetic Unit, Ultrahelvetic Unit, Rhenodanubian Flysch Unit, North Alpine Foreland Basin, Waschberg Unit, Vienna (and Korneuburg) Basin, Eisenstadt- Sopron Basin, Oberpullendorf Basin, Styrian Basin, Fohnsdorf Basin and Lavanttal Basin. The definition of the tectonic units follows roughly the usual schemes, which are applied for the official geological maps of Austria published by the GeoSphere Austria (former Geological Survey of Austria). These assignments are in most cases clear but some units are a matter of discussion both in definition and in content. Altogether 340 lithostratigraphic units have been described including 272 formations or formation level units, 2 beds, 51 members, 1 subgroup, 13 groups and 1 supergroup. A stratigraphic chart of the Cenozoic is supplement to this publication.
