Comparison between the inferred age since the fault scarps started to be preserved, and the elevation of the sampling sites. Together with the three faults subject of study in this paper, we report data from the Fiamignano fault, located in central Italy and studied with 36Cl where pre-exposure have not been imposed (Cowie et al.27), and re-modelled 36Cl data from the Pisia fault plane in central Greece (Mechernich et al.54). The bars show the range of possible values reported. We plot the range of possible values from both the least squares solutions (from Fig. 2) and from the highest likelihood solutions (from Supplement S2c). For comparison, we also show the preservation age of ~ 125 ka wave-cut platforms cut into limestones in central Greece, which are at low elevations, and subject to very low erosion rates evidenced by preserved lithophagid borings that were originally only 5–10 cm in depth (Robertson et al.47).
