Early Cenozoic Multiple Thrust in the Tibetan Plateau
Figure 4
Photos of Late Eocene-Oligocene southward thrust in the Tibetan Plateau. Explanation: (a): view northward at Triassic granodiorite (Tg) thrust over Paleocene-Eocene red-beds (E1+2) along SKT in southern Kunlun Mountains; (b): view northward at Early Triassic slate (T1) thrust over Oligocene red-beds (E3) along SKT in southern Kunlun Mts.; (c): view northward at Upper Cretaceous-Eocene red-beds (K2-E1+2) thrust over Oligocene lacustrine deposits (E3) along HXT in north of Tuotuohe; (d): view northwestward at Jurassic limestone (J) thrust over Paleocene-Eocene red-beds (E1+2) along NCT north of Shuanghu; (e): view northwestward at Jurassic limestone (J) thrust over Paleocene-Eocene red-beds (E1+2) and breccia formed by thrusting along BNT in south of Ando; (f): view northwestward at Cretaceous porphyry granite (Kg) thrust over Eocene-Oligocene red-beds (E2-3) along BNT in east of Gar; (g): view northward at upper Triassic limestone (T3) thrust over upper Cretaceous-Paleocene lacustrine strata (K2) along CGT in northeast of Lhasa. Locations for photos are marked in Figure 2.
