Abstract: Palynological analysis of the Rhenodanubian Flysch Zone section recovered from Well Höflein 6 north of Vienna allows the successful application of non-calcareous dinoflagellate biostratigraphy to the deep-water sediments of the Greifenstein Nappe. All 62 cuttings samples contained organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) and some of them allow age-assessment. The results corroborated the presence of two thrust slices. The upper thrust unit A comprises a Campanian to Lower Eocene succession including, from old to young, the Röthenbach Subgroup, Perneck Formation, Altlengbach Formation and Greifenstein Formation. The lower thrust unit B contains in addition a pre-Campanian base, probably the Wolfpassing Formation of Early to mid-Cretaceous age.
