Key Points Limited Cenozoic shortening of the Western Carpathians facilitates a comprehensive tectonic model of their pre‐Late Eocene evolution Western Carpathian orogeny was driven by pull of the Meliata oceanic slab and by the northward drift of Adria Multiple rock record data provide valuable constraints for evolutionary tectonic models of collisional orogens
