Eocene deformation of the NE Tibetan Plateau: Indications from magnetostratigraphic constraints on the oldest sedimentary sequence in the Linxia Basin

Zhantao Feng et al.

Summary: The study reveals the early development of the Linxia Basin is related to the growth of the West Qinling, with the northern segment of the West Qinling being the main sediment source to the basin before -51 Ma. A significant increase in sedimentation rate before -51 Ma, along with southward migration of the sedimentary system during 51-47.8 Ma, indicates extension and fast exhumation of the sediment source.

Thrusting, exhumation, and basin fill on the western margin of the South China block during the India-Asia collision

Kai Cao et al.

Summary: Through detailed geological investigation and analysis along a fold-and-thrust belt in western Yunnan, China, this study reveals the deformation pattern and timing in southeast Tibet during the early stages of the India-Asia collision. The results indicate that the early Cenozoic tectonic evolution is crucial for the growth of the Tibetan Plateau, and the activity of the fold-and-thrust belt ceased around 39 Ma.

Magnetostratigraphic study of a Late Cretaceous-Paleogene succession in the eastern Xining basin, NE Tibet: Constraint on the timing of major tectonic events in response to the India-Eurasia collision

Chi-Cheng He et al.

Summary: The study of a Late Cretaceous to Paleogene magnetostratigraphy in a section of the NE Tibetan Plateau has provided insights into the growth history of the plateau in response to the India-Eurasia collision. The results indicate a sedimentary hiatus duration of about 19.9 million years during the Cretaceous-Paleogene unconformity, possibly reflecting the tectonic transition from Neo-Tethys oceanic plate subduction to the India-Eurasia collision in southern Tibet. Changes in provenance and sedimentary accumulation rate suggest pulsed growth of West Qinling and rapid uplift of Laji Shan in the Oligocene and early Miocene. The rotation of shortening direction from NEN-SWS to NE-SW recorded in the AMS results highlights the effects of the India-Eurasia collision in shaping the region's tectonic history.

Cenozoic evolution of the Qaidam basin and implications for the growth of the northern Tibetan plateau: A review

Feng Cheng et al.

Summary: The Qaidam basin, as the largest depression in the Tibetan plateau, contains over 10 km thick of Cenozoic sediments that provide a unique record of the evolution of the northern part of the Tibetan plateau. Despite controversies surrounding the basin's evolution, a comprehensive review of structural geology, sedimentology, geochronology, and geophysics data has led to a holistic view of the Cenozoic evolution of the basin, emphasizing the interplay between tectonics and climate. Key findings include the development of basement-involved faults, the Neogene initiation of strike-slip faulting, and the role of the Eastern Kunlun Shan in controlling sediment sources and basin partitioning.

Bidirectional growth of the Altyn Tagh Fault since the Early Oligocene

Bingshuai Li et al.

Summary: This study presents new paleomagnetic rotation evidence in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, shedding light on the Cenozoic evolution of the Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF). Through rock magnetic analysis and thermal demagnetization, two significant periods of rotations were identified at the Heishiqiu locality, attributed to strike-slip faulting along the ATF. The integrated paleomagnetic and geological evidence suggests a bidirectional growth model for the ATF, which may be applicable to the evolution of the Tibetan Plateau.
