As a result of deep drilling and complex geophysical investigations conducted on a large scale the existence of a deeply fractured graben zone has been established in the basement of a pre-Paleozoic and epi-Hercynian platform. This zone stretches from the northwest to southeast over a distance of more than 4,000 km. In the northwest it is traced through the pre-Paleozoic Russian platform and includes the Pripyat, the Dnieper-Donets depressions and the Donets basin Hercynian folding zone. In the Fore-Caucasian territory it passes along the Russian and the epi-Hercynian platforms boundary within the buried range forming an extension of the Donets Basin. Further on, within the territory of Central Asia it is traced in the Mangyshlak mountain structure and the Bukhara- Khiva fracture zone. The activity of this tectonic zone during the post-Cambrian was displayed at different times. There is observed, therefore, a gradual NW-SE rejuvenation of sedimentary deposits filling up a graben system associated with the tectonic zone: Devonian deposits - in the Dnieper- Donets and Pripyat depression; Middle and Upper Carboniferous deposits-in the Donets Basin and within the area of the buried range; Permian-Triassic deposits - in the Mangyshlak mountain structure; and Jurassic deposits - in the Bukhara-Khiva zone. This shows that the renewal of tectonic activity along ancient fractures first began in the western part of the platform most elevated during the Paleozoic. During the Hercynian stage of tectogenesis tectonic processes of different characters took place in separate links of the entire zone: platform development - in the Dnieper-Donets depression; geosynclinal - in the Donets Basin, the buried range in the Bukhara-Khiva zone; geosynclinal and intermediary stage of intermontane depressions - in the Mangyshlak mountain structure.—Auth.

The crystalline basement is best exposed in the northern half of the Zapadnyye mountains. It consists of two large units, the Dzhileu and Aryesh suites, which differ in their lithology and development. These suites were metamorphosed in the Carboniferous, at which time the Peyushen formation was deposited. The Peyushen was metamorphosed during the Hercynian, simultaneously with formation of granite massifs. From the Hercynian to the end of the Cretaceous, three major areas of deposition were developed: 1) Bikhor, in which Triassic quartzites lie transgressively on the Dzhileu crystallines and Middle Triassic through Cenomanian limestones, dolomites, and flysch overlie the quartzite; 2) Kodru, characterized by a strong development of the Verrukano type underlain by Aryesh crystallines and overlain by the Bikhor-type Triassic sequence and Rhaetian clastics; 3) Meresh mountains, in which massive Malm limestones and Cretaceous through Cenomanian flysch overlie Paleozoic metamorphics. Magmatic activity occurred during the Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. The intrusions are primarily basic. In the Cretaceous, the Kodru formations were thrust northward over the Bikhor area forming the basic structure of the mountain. It is proposed that a bilateral orogeny caused the thrust structures of the Zapadnyye mountains. One orogeny arose in the Zapadnyye, the other in the southern Carpathians. The thrust sheets are therefore reverse displacements resulting from a convergent movement of separate autochthonous blocks.  相似文献

A considerable portion of the territory of Afghanistan, having structures of the Mediterranean folded belt, has been subjected to a general tectonomagmatic activization over the Miocene through to the present, resulting in different (predominantly oscillating) tectonic movements, intrusive magmatism, terrestrial volcanism, mineral occurrences, and springs of carbonated and nitrous thermal water.Three types of young magmatism and volcanism products have been recognized in Afghanistan:
1. (1) Miocene alkaline granite intrusions, described as the Share—Arman Complex, resulted from the early orogenic stage of the Late Alpine geosynclinal troughs development and were restricted to transversal uplifts, in both the geosynclinal structures and on their extension, in the surrounding median masses. These transversal uplifts also play the role of mineralization-controlling structures.
2. (2) Late orogenic—Early Quaternary volcanics (the Dash-i-Nawar Complex) cropping out by the periphery of median masses and at the marginal uplifts of the Late Alpine folded area and also restricted to the transversal uplifts with the confined fault zones to them.
3. (3) Alkaline carbonatitic (the Khanneshin Complex) and trachybasaltic (the SarLogh Complex) Early—Middle Quaternary volcanics in the inner parts of the Central Afghanistan Median Mass and in the southeastern segment of the Turan Plateau.
Areas with products of Middle Quaternary volcanism are restricted to knot areas of the major subcrustal faults which are currently active.  相似文献

The European Hercynides are considered the collisional result of Baltica and the microcontinents of Southern Europe, after subduction destroyed the intervening Rheic Ocean during the early Paleozoic. Their geotectonic development is assumed to consist of four overlapping stages:
1. (1) lithospheric thinning, upwelling of hot asthenospheric material, subsidence along listric faults, and basinal and geosynclinal development on the opposing shelves of the Rheic Ocean starting in pre-Devonian time;
2. (2) intermittent subduction of the Rheic Ocean interspersed with episodes of fracturing, volcanism, local uplift and subsidence, and basement reactivation as a result of compression with dextral megashear, particularly since the earliest Devonian;
3. (3) several phases of folding with a northward vergence, and thrusting and overthrusting along listric surfaces, the true orogenic stage;
4. (4) post-orogenic stage of massive granite intrusions and subsequent volcanism in the Permo-Triassic
.The high clastic content (as opposed to carbonates) of the sedimentary sequences involved in the subduction and folding processes and the consequent release of large amounts of meteoric water are held responsible for the synorogenic and post-orogenic magma rise, and for the wide zone of anatectic granites and migmatites. The dominant dextral megashear, the constant re-adjustment of the microcontinents of Southern Europe (oblique collision) and the scarcity of back-arc basins, oceanic plateaus and microcontinents led to the poor preservation of ophiolites and ultrabasic rocks, and to a wide (over 1500 km) Hercynian Foldbelt.During the Paleozoic, the depositional center of the Rhenish Massif shifted from south polar latitudes in the early Ordovician to tropical positions within a period of about 100 m.y. The sediment facies reflects this paleogeographic development.  相似文献

An extensive passive margin was formed in the Triassic along the periphery of Arabia, including the Tauric carbonate platform. This event is related to the opening of the Mesozoic Tethys when a number of microcontinents split off from Gondwana. Triassic extension and continental rifting resulted in the formation of a structural pattern which is uniform from the Dinarides to Oman. It includes the following elements:
1. (1) shelf,
2. (2) continental slope,
3. (3) deep basin probably with a floor of attenuated sialic crust,
4. (4) inner carbonate platform. In the Jurassic-Cretaceous stable conditions prevailed, influenced only by eustatic oscillations of the sea level. Turbidites accumulated on the continental rise while cherts and radiolarites were deposited in the deep basins (Hawasina, Pichakun, Antalya, Pindus) below the CCD level. Sedimentation on the shelf was controlled by north-northeast transverse tectonic elements which also continued across the passive margin, dividing it into a number of segments. Collision with an island arc led to obduction of the oceanic crust, deformation of the passive margin and overthrusting of its sedimentary cover onto the Arabian shelf. Obduction and deformation lasted for about 10 m.y. and created a new tectonic pattern with concentric structural zones surrounding the Arabian promontory.
These zones include:
1. (1) the flysch basin—a remnant of the closing Tethys;
2. (2) an uplift—a site of periodical emergence and erosion, corresponding to the frontal part of the ophiolitic nappes;
3. (3) the Border furrow—a depocenter of low-energy calcareous marls,
4. (4) the Arabian shield constantly emerged during the Tertiary. Tectonic deformation of these zones caused by the collision of Arabia with Eurasia began prior to the Early Miocene and it is still going on.
Data on Afghanistan demonstrate that its central part (the Gelmend-Argandab and Kabul blocks) belonged during the Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic to the continental shelf of India.  相似文献

国内外不少地质学家大都将雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带视为印度板块与亚洲板块之间的缝合带。但是,笔者等在喜玛拉雅造山带的东段即仁布-康马一线以东地区的研究却发现,在雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带的南侧发育着一个宽大的增生杂岩体,它与雅江蛇绿岩是同一大洋即特提斯喜玛拉雅洋俯冲消减的产物,前者代表着特提斯喜玛拉雅洋消亡遗迹的主体,是印度板块与拉萨地块之间缝合带的主要组成部分;而后者代表的是俯冲带与拉萨地块之间的残余洋壳,它由北向南仰冲,构成日喀则-桑日弧前盆地前缘脊和南部基底,因而其不代表主缝合带。北喜玛拉雅增生杂岩体的发现改变了以Gansser(1964)为代表提出的喜玛拉雅造山带的构造模式,为重新审视印度板块与拉萨地块缝合作用过程提供了一个重要的地质制约和新的研究途径。  相似文献

During Paleozoic time the central Tien Shan crystalline zone, a geanticlinal region with two deep rifts, separated the southern and northern Tien Shan geosynclines. The uplifting movement was primary within this period. Within Sinkiang the southern belt of the western section of Pei Shan is a Late Paleozoic subsiding zone, developed on the basement of the Precambrian folds. Pei Shan fault block is not the eastern extension of the Tien Shan geosyncline nor a branch of it. Rejuvenation of the fold in the northern Kunlun syneclise fold zone was not Caledonian but late Variscan, in the western Kunlun geosynclinal fold zone. –IGR Staff.  相似文献

Sedimentary history of the Tethyan basin in the Tibetan Himalayas   总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14  
After an epicontinental phase, the sedimentary rocks in the Tibetan Himalayas document a complete Wilson cycle of the Neo-Tethyan (Tethys Ill) evolution between the Gondwana supercontinent and its northward drifting margin (Lhasa block) from the Late Permian to the Eocene.During the Triassic rift stage, the basin was filled with a huge, clastic-dominated sediment wedge with up to > 5 000 m of flysch in the northern zone. Widespread deltaic clastics and shallow-water carbonates of late Norian to earliest Jurassic age in the southern zone mark, in conjunction with decreasing tectonic subsidence, the transition to the drift stage.Some 4 500 m of Jurassic and Early Cretaceous shallow-water carbonates and siliciclastics accumulated on the Tethyan Indian passive margin. Deepening-upward sequences with condensed beds at their tops alternate with repeated progradational packages of shelf sediments. Extensive abyssal sediments with basaltic volcanics in the northern deep-water zone reflect continued ocean spreading and thermal subsidence. Paleomagnetic data, gained separately for the northern Indian plate and the Lhasa block, indicate that the Neo-Tethys reached its maximum width about 110 Ma ago with a spreading rate of 4.8 cm/year, before it commenced to close again.During the remnant basin stage in the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene, a shallowing-upward megasequence, capped by a carbonate platform, developed in the southern inner shelf realm. In the northern slope/basin plain zone, turbidites and chaotic sediments, derived from both the acretionary wedge and the steepening slope of the passive margin, accumulated. The depositional center of the remnant basin shifted southward as a result of flexural subsidence and southward overthrusting.The sediments from the Triassic to the Paleogene are tentatively subdivided into five mega-sequences, which are controlled mainly by regional tectonics. Climatic influence (e.g., carbonate deposition), due to northward plate motion, is partially subdued by terrigenous input and/or increased water depth. During the Oligocene and Miocene, crustal shortening led to rapid uplift and the deposition of fluvial molasse in limited basins.  相似文献

班公湖-怒江洋的形成演化是认识班公湖-怒江成矿带成矿地质背景的关键,近几年中国地质调查局在青藏高原部署了大量1∶50000区域地质调查工作,取得了很多重要发现。对班公湖-怒江结合带两侧关键性海陆沉积地层对比研究,认为南羌塘地块与拉萨地块晚古生代-晚三叠世地层沉积特征及岩石组合基本一致,二者在班公湖-怒江中生代洋盆形成以前是一个整体,为冈瓦纳大陆北缘被动陆缘环境。班公湖-怒江洋在早中侏罗世裂解形成,至中侏罗世趋于稳定且范围最大;向北俯冲消减作用始于中晚侏罗世,晚侏罗世-早白垩世演化为残留海,早白垩世中晚期出现短暂的裂解,致使海水重新灌入;晚白垩世班公湖-怒江洋盆进入闭合后的隆升造山阶段,发生了残留盆地迁移,形成了磨拉石建造。班公湖-怒江洋类似古加勒比海(现今墨西哥湾地区)的形成机制,并与大西洋、太平洋的形成过程关系密切。对于班公湖-怒江洋的闭合和冈底斯弧的形成,本文提出了另一种可能解释,即,新特提斯洋向北俯冲下,岩浆弧逐步南迁,在弧后形成了一系列伸展性质的弧后盆地,两者组成微陆块由北向南逐渐增生形成了现今的拉萨地体,持续向北俯冲也导致了班公湖-怒江洋最终闭合。  相似文献

The South Anyui fold zone (western Chukotka) is considered a suture zone related to closure of the South Anyui oceanic basin and collision of Eurasia with the Chukotka–Arctic Alaska microcontinent in the Early Cretaceous. The existence of a compensatory sedimentation basin (foredeep) during folding in the terminal Jurassic–initial Cretaceous remains debatable. This work presents first data on age estimates of detrital zircons from Upper Mesozoic terrigenous sequences of the South Anyui suture zone obtained by the fission-track method. The distal flysch of presumably Late Jurassic age and the proximal flysch of probably Late Triassic age were sampled in the Uyamkanda River basin. The fission-track dating showed that sandstones from the flysch sections contain detrital zircons of two different-age populations. Young zircon populations from sandstones of distal turbidites in the upper course of the Uyamkanda River (two samples) are 149 ± 10.2 and 155.4 ± 9.0 Ma old (Late Jurassic), whereas those from coarse-grained proximal turbidites sampled in the lower course of the Uyamkanda River (one sample) is 131.1 ± 7.5 Ma old (Early Cretaceous). The data obtained indicate that the Late Mesozoic folding in the South Anyui suture zone was accompanied by the formation of a marginal sedimentary basin. Sediments accumulated in this basin compose tectonic nappes that constitute a fold–thrust structure with the northern vergence.  相似文献

Geologic mapping in the northern Sierra Los Ajos reveals new stratigraphic and structural data relevant to deciphering the Mesozoic–Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the range. The northern Sierra Los Ajos is cored by Proterozoic, Cambrian, Devonian, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian strata, equivalent respectively to the Pinal Schist, Bolsa Quartzite and Abrigo Limestone, Martin Formation, Escabrosa Limestone, and Horquilla Limestone. The Proterozoic–Paleozoic sequence is mantled by Upper Cretaceous rocks partly equivalent to the Fort Crittenden and Salero Formations in Arizona, and the Cabullona Group in Sonora, Mexico.Absence of the Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous Bisbee Group below the Upper Cretaceous rocks and above the Proterozoic–Paleozoic rocks indicates that the Sierra Los Ajos was part of the Cananea high, a topographic highland during the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. Deposition of Upper Cretaceous rocks directly on Paleozoic and Proterozoic rocks indicates that the Sierra Los Ajos area had subsided as part of the Laramide Cabullona basin during Late Cretaceous time. Basal beds of the Upper Cretaceous sequence are clast-supported conglomerate composed locally of basement (Paleozoic) clasts. The conglomerate represents erosion of Paleozoic basement in the Sierra Los Ajos area coincident with development of the Cabullona basin.The present-day Sierra Los Ajos reaches elevations of greater than 2600 m, and was uplifted during Tertiary basin-and-range extension. Upper Cretaceous rocks are exposed at higher elevations in the northern Sierra Los Ajos and represent an uplifted part of the inverted Cabullona basin. Tertiary uplift of the Sierra Los Ajos was largely accommodated by vertical movement along the north-to-northwest-striking Sierra Los Ajos fault zone flanking the west side of the range. This fault zone structurally controls the configuration of the headwaters of the San Pedro River basin, an important bi-national water resource in the US-Mexico border region.  相似文献

Thirteen time interval maps were constructed, which depict the Triassic to Neogene plate tectonic configuration, paleogeography and general lithofacies of the southern margin of Eurasia. The aim of this paper is to provide an outline of the geodynamic evolution and position of the major tectonic elements of the area within a global framework. The Hercynian Orogeny was completed by the collision of Gondwana and Laurussia, whereas the Tethys Ocean formed the embayment between the Eurasian and Gondwanian branches of Pangea. During Late Triassic–Early Jurassic times, several microplates were sutured to the Eurasian margin, closing the Paleotethys Ocean. A Jurassic–Cretaceous north-dipping subduction boundary was developed along this new continental margin south of the Pontides, Transcaucasus and Iranian plates. The subduction zone trench-pulling effect caused rifting, creating the back-arc basin of the Greater Caucasus–proto South Caspian Sea, which achieved its maximum width during the Late Cretaceous. In the western Tethys, separation of Eurasia from Gondwana resulted in the formation of the Ligurian–Penninic–Pieniny–Magura Ocean (Alpine Tethys) as an extension of Middle Atlantic system and a part of the Pangean breakup tectonic system. During Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous times, the Outer Carpathian rift developed. The opening of the western Black Sea occurred by rifting and drifting of the western–central Pontides away from the Moesian and Scythian platforms of Eurasia during the Early Cretaceous–Cenomanian. The latest Cretaceous–Paleogene was the time of the closure of the Ligurian–Pieniny Ocean. Adria–Alcapa terranes continued their northward movement during Eocene–Early Miocene times. Their oblique collision with the North European plate led to the development of the accretionary wedge of the Outer Carpathians and its foreland basin. The formation of the West Carpathian thrusts was completed by the Miocene. The thrust front was still propagating eastwards in the eastern Carpathians.During the Late Cretaceous, the Lesser Caucasus, Sanandaj–Sirjan and Makran plates were sutured to the Iranian–Afghanistan plates in the Caucasus–Caspian Sea area. A north-dipping subduction zone jumped during Paleogene to the Scythian–Turan Platform. The Shatski terrane moved northward, closing the Greater Caucasus Basin and opening the eastern Black Sea. The South Caspian underwent reorganization during Oligocene–Neogene times. The southwestern part of the South Caspian Basin was reopened, while the northwestern part was gradually reduced in size. The collision of India and the Lut plate with Eurasia caused the deformation of Central Asia and created a system of NW–SE wrench faults. The remnants of Jurassic–Cretaceous back-arc systems, oceanic and attenuated crust, as well as Tertiary oceanic and attenuated crust were locked between adjacent continental plates and orogenic systems.  相似文献

In situ U‐Th/Pb (LA‐ICP‐MS) monazite ages from the Hindu Kush of NW Pakistan provide new petrochronologic constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya–Karakoram–Tibet orogen. Monazites from two adjacent garnet + staurolite schist specimens yield multiple age populations that record the major Mesozoic and Cenozoic deformational, magmatic and metamorphic events along the southern margin of Eurasia. These include the accretion of the Hindu Kush–SW Pamir to Eurasia during the Late Triassic, followed by the accretion of the Karakoram terrane in the Early Jurassic. Younger Jurassic and Cretaceous ages record the development of an Andean‐style volcanic arc along the southern Eurasian margin, which ended with the docking of the Kohistan island arc and the emplacement of the Kohistan–Ladakh batholith during the Late Cretaceous. The initial Eocene collision of India with Eurasia was followed by widespread high‐temperature metamorphism and anatexis associated with crustal thickening within the Himalaya system in the Late Oligocene and Early Miocene.  相似文献

In the Cretaceous flysch of the Northern Pyrenees, polymict conglomerates interbedded in the flysch are described from the vicinity of Orio (near San Sebastián). These contain components derived from rocks of all periods from Paleozoic to Lower Cretaceous. During Late Maastrichtian times a diapir, originated in Keupez evaporites, penetrated the deep-sea Cretaceous flysch which was still undergoing deposition. This resulted in the expulsion of large quantities of diapiric mass. After the solution of the evaporites the pebbles, which had been dragged along with the diapiric masses, slumped into a neighbouring marginal depression where they were redeposited. The reddish strata of Late Maastrichtian and Danian age in this region are interpreted as being out-thrust and transported Keuper shales. It will be shown that the other breccias and conglomerates described by Feuillé and Mathey (1972) from the Late Cretaceous of the Basque Pyrenees probably have the same origin.The comprehensive name “Vascongadian Diapir Zone” is suggested for the diapir field on the northern edge of the Basque sedimentary trough.  相似文献

The provenance of Cenomanian to Eocene flysch deposits accreted along the northern margin of the Eastern Alps has been investigated by means of zircon fission-track (FT) geochronology and zircon morphology. The Rhenodanubian flysch and Ybbsitz klippen zone comprise several nappes representing the Main flysch and Laab basins. The Laab basin received sediments of stable European provenance, indicated by pre-Variscan, Variscan, and Permian–Triassic zircon FT ages, and was thus located in the immediate south of the European margin. The Main flysch basin was supplied mainly from the evolving Eastern Alps and was therefore situated south of the Laab basin. Zircon populations with Permian to Jurassic cooling ages in the Main flysch basin are related to increased heat fluxes during the break-up of Pangaea and are probably derived from the northwestern part of the Eastern Alps. The dominant Cretaceous zircon FT cooling ages reflect Eoalpine metamorphism in the Austroalpine realm.  相似文献

Iran is a mosaic of Ediacaran–Cambrian (Cadomian; 520–600 Ma) blocks, stitched together by Paleozoic and Mesozoic ophiolites. In this paper we summarize the Paleozoic ophiolites of Iran for the international geoscientific audience including field, chemical and geochronological data from the literature and our own unpublished data. We focus on the five best known examples of Middle to Late Paleozoic ophiolites which are remnants of Paleotethys, aligned in two main zones in northern Iran: Aghdarband, Mashhad and Rasht in the north and Jandagh–Anarak and Takab ophiolites to the south. Paleozoic ophiolites were emplaced when N-directed subduction resulted in collision of Gondwana fragment “Cimmeria” with Eurasia in Permo-Triassic time. Paleozoic ophiolites show both SSZ- and MORB-type mineralogical and geochemical signatures, perhaps reflecting formation in a marginal basin. Paleozoic ophiolites of Iran suggest a progression from oceanic crust formation above a subduction zone in Devonian time to accretionary convergence in Permian time. The Iranian Paleozoic ophiolites along with those of the Caucausus and Turkey in the west and Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Tibet to the east, define a series of diachronous subduction-related marginal basins active from at least Early Devonian to Late Permian time.  相似文献

The Kurosegawa zone in southwest Japan is a 600 km long serpentinite mélange in the Chichibu terrains. It runs generally E-W but is slightly oblique to the subparallel arrangement of the Ryoke, Sanbagawa and Chichibu belts of Southwest Japan. A variety of geological units occurs in the Kurosegawa zone:
1. (1) granodiorite, gneiss and amphibolite of ca. 400 Ma,
2. (2) Siluro-Devonian formations,
3. (3) Upper Carboniferous to Jurassic formations,
4. (4) Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous formations,
5. (5) serpentinite and
6. (6) low- to medium-grade metamorphic rocks of various baric types (ages, 220, 320, 360 and 420 Ma by K-Ar).
The most widespread is a high-pressure intermediate group of metamorphic rocks. Serpentinite is emplaced along the faults between and within the constituent units.Rocks of the Kurosegawa zone represent a mature orogenic belt along a continental margin or an island arc. Its original site as constrained by paleomagnetism was near the equatorial area. Here, 400 Ma old paired metamorphism and related magmatism took place. The island arc or microcontinent migrated northward to collide with the Eurasia plate during Late Jurassic, thus consuming the intervening ocean.  相似文献

The Late Cretaceous Chagai arc outcrops in western Pakistan, southern Afghanistan and eastern Iran. It is in the Tethyan convergence zone, formed by northward subduction of the Arabian oceanic plate beneath the Afghan block. The oldest unit of the Chagai arc is the Late Cretaceous Sinjrani Volcanic Group. This is composed of porphyritic lava flows and volcaniclastic rocks, and subordinate shale, sandstone, limestone and chert. The flows are fractionated low-K tholeiitic basalts, basaltic-andesites, and andesites. Relative enrichment in their LILE and depletion in HFSE, and negative Nb and Ta and positive K, Ba and Sr anomalies point to a subduction-related origin. Compared to MORB, the least fractionated Chagai basalts have low Na2O, Fe2O3T, CaO, Ti, Zr, Y and 87Sr/86Sr. Rather than an Andean setting, these results suggest derivation from a highly depleted mantle in an intraoceanic arc formed by Late Cretaceous convergence in the Ceno-Tethys. The segmented subduction zone formed between Gondwana and a collage of small continental blocks (Iran, Afghan, Karakoram, Lhasa and Burma) was accompanied by a chain of oceanic island arcs and suprasubduction ophiolites including Semail, Zagros, Chagai-Raskoh, Kandahar, Muslim Bagh, Waziristan and Kohistan-Ladakh, Nidar, Nagaland and Manipur. These complexes accreted to the southern margin of Eurasia in the Late Cretaceous.  相似文献
