Journal ArticleDOI
U/Pb zircon ages constrain the architecture of the ultrahigh-pressure Qinling–Dabie Orogen, China
TL;DR: In this article, new SHRIMP and TIMS zircon ages, 40Ar/39Ar ages, and eclogite locations contribute significantly to our understanding of the ultrahigh-pressure Dabie Shan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonics of the Qinling (Central China): tectonostratigraphy, geochronology, and deformation history
Lothar Ratschbacher,Bradley R. Hacker,Andrew T. Calvert,Laura E. Webb,Jens C. Grimmer,Michael McWilliams,Trevor Ireland,Shuwen Dong,Jianmin Hu +8 more
TL;DR: The Qinling orogen preserves a record of late mid-Proterozoic to Cenozoic tectonism in central China as mentioned in this paper, where high pressure metamorphism and ophiolite emplacement assembled the Yangtze craton, including the lower Qinling unit, into Rodinia during the ∼1.0 Ga Grenvillian orogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral extrusion in the eastern Alps, PArt 2: Structural analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a model for lateral extrusion in the Eastern Alps has been proposed and the kinematics of this process are approximated by an extrusion-spreading model proposed for nappe tectonics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure continental crust in east central China: Late Triassic-Early Jurassic tectonic unroofing
Bradley R. Hacker,Lothar Ratschbacher,Laura E. Webb,Michael McWilliams,Trevor Ireland,Andrew J. Calvert,Shuwen Dong,Hans-Rudolf Wenk,Daniel Chateigner +8 more
TL;DR: The largest tract of ultrahigh pressure rocks, the Dabie-Hong'an area of China, was exhumed from 125 km depth by a combination of normal-sense shear from beneath the hanging wall Sino-Korean craton, southeastward thrusting onto the footwall Yangtze craton and orogen-parallel eastward extrusion as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distributed deformation in southern and western Tibet during and after the India-Asia collision
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used field and radiometric data to describe and date strain and stress states in southern (longitude 88 o to 91oE, latitude 28 o to 30oN) and western Tibet (longitudes 79 o to 82oE and latitude 30 o to 34oN).
