“…The Main Central Thrust (MCT) was active by 24-21 Ma as the MCT hanging wall was deforming at ∼22 Ma [Hubbard and Harrison, 1989]. Harrison et al [1997] however, suggest a much later (late Miocene) date of deformation. Monazites from graphic schists in the Lesser Himalayas revealed a range of early to mid-Miocene age (15.8-11 Ma) [Catlos et al, 2001].…”

“…A variety of factors have caused controversy over the Main Central Thrust: the divergent criteria used to define the thrust, differences in methods and approach, and variations in appearance of the thrust in the field (Searle et al 2008, and references therein). Different criteria used to define the thrust include the following: (1) lithological changes (Heim & Gansser 1939;Valdiya 1980;Gansser 1983;Pêcher 1989;Davidson et al 1997;Daniel et al 2003;Tobgay et al 2012); (2) high strain in a distinct zone (Stephenson et al 2001;Gupta et al 2010); (3) metamorphic discontinuities (Bordet 1961;Le Fort 1975;Hubbard & Harrison 1989;Stäubli 1989;Harrison et al 1997;Catlos et al 2001;Kohn et al 2001;Daniel et al 2003;Groppo et al 2009;Martin et al 2010); (4) structural criteria (Pêcher 1989;Martin et al 2005;Searle et al 2008); (5) isotopic breaks (Inger & Harris 1993;Parrish & Hodges 1996;Whittington et al 1999;Ahmad et al 2000;Robinson et al 2001;Martin et al 2005Martin et al , 2011Richards et al 2005Richards et al , 2006Ameen et al 2007;Imayama & Arita 2008;Gehrels et al 2011;Long et al 2011b;Tobgay et al 2010;McQuarrie et al 2013;…”

“…Monazite appears in pelitic rocks at about 500°C (Kingsbury et al 1993) which is below the closure temperature for U-Pb system in monazite (≥700°C, Copeland et al 1988). Harrison et al (1997) interpret that the M 2 occurred in the LH in the Late MiocenePleistocene due to the reactivation of the Upper MCT. Gautam and Koshimizu (1989) have also suggested a possible strong thermal pulse around 5 Ma on the basis of paleomagnetic and fission-track studies on the Ampipal alkaline complex, central Nepal.…”

“…The youngest age determined in the present case is about 10 Ma. Harrison et al (1997) have measured ca. 6 Ma Pb-Th monazites in garnets of the MCT zone of the Gorkha area, central Nepal.…”
