Using migrating growth strata to confirm a ∼230-km-long detachment thrust in the southern Tarim Basin

Hanlin Chen et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new type of growth strata in the Manan Structure of the southern Tarim Basin that directly constrains fault slip amount and timing of fault activity, demonstrating a two-stage evolution in structural development. This finding highlights the importance of sequential detachment activities at different depths in transmitting strain from the Tibetan Plateau into the Eurasian continental interiors.

Late Miocene (10.0∼6.0 Ma) Rapid Exhumation of the Chinese South Tianshan: Implications for the Timing of Aridification in the Tarim Basin

Jian Chang et al.

Summary: The exhumation of the Tianshan Mountains is controlled by a complex interaction between tectonics and climate. New low-temperature thermochronological data reveals rapid exhumation in the central South Tianshan during 10-6 million years ago, contributing significantly to the aridification of the Tarim Basin.

Chunyang Li et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant depositional shift in the southwestern Tarim Basin, indicating the transition from marine facies to continental facies with southward depositional thickening, potentially related to the uplift of South Kunlun and the onset of foreland basin subsidence.

Variations of thick-skinned deformation along tumuxiuke thrust in Bachu uplift of Tarim Basin, northwestern China

Zhihua Song et al.

Summary: The study indicates that the Tumuxiuke thrust at the northeastern boundary of the Bachu uplift in the Tarim Basin is controlled by pre-existing normal faults, leading to the formation of monoclines and fault-propagation folds. Through simulation and analysis, the study reveals the impact of thrust faults on folding deformation, influencing the rate of fold amplification and structural characteristics.

Underthrusting of the Tarim Lithosphere Beneath the Western Kunlun Range, Insights From Seismic Profiling Evidence

Shengli Wang et al.

Summary: The uplift of the western Kunlun range is a result of the Indian indentation into Eurasia and the underthrusting of the Tarim lithosphere. The study determines that the western Kunlun mountain range started to uplift slightly before 40 million years ago and the modern geomorphology of the Tarim Basin took shape around 25 million years ago. The underthrusting rate of the Tarim lithosphere is approximately 8.18 mm/yr, combining a shortening rate and a latitudinal propagation rate.
