摘要: The Wang Chao and Three Pagodas fault zones cut the western part of Indochina block run parallel to Red River Fault. Evidence intense ductile left-lateral shear is found in Lansang gneisses, which form a 5 km wide elongated core along zone. Dating by 40 Ar/ 39 Ar shows that such deformation probably terminated around 30.5 Ma. faults offset north striking lower Mesozoic metamorphic magmatic belt northern Thailand. results suggest this suffered rapid cooling Tertiary, 23 These imply extrusion southwestern occurred upper Eocene-lower Oligocene. It induced rifting some basins Gulf Thailand Malay Mekong basins. In Oligo-Miocene, continuing penetration India into Asia culminated with all Ailao Shan - fault. This concurrently onset E-W extension more south. Plotting geographical reference frame diachronic time spans movement on east southeast Tibet implies northward Indian indenter successively initiated new strike-slip located farther its path.
