“…Based on the uplift and exhumation studies in the district, the depth of formation of the Yemaquan deposit was at 7 km and the pressure was roughly 2 kb Yuan et al, 2006). The relatively deep environment is consistent with field observations such as the absence of brecciation and brittle fracture associated with mineralization, widely developed calc-silicate hornfels, and the intrusive contacts subparallel to bedding (Meinert et al, 2005).…”

“…Rapid cooling of the Longmen Mountain initiated at 12-5 Ma and is associated with formation of the eastern topographic margin of the Tibetan Plateau (Kirby et al 2002). Furthermore, rapid cooling of the eastern Kunlun Mountain started at 12-6 Ma (Yuan et al 2005). These lines of evidences, mainly based on low-temperature thermochronological data, indicate that the change in the depositional pattern occurred at 9.2-7.4 Ma in the Western Qinling is due to some uplift related to an important deformation event of the Tibetan Plateau.…”

The Western Qinling orogenic belt marks the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. Its late Cenozoic orogenic history is recorded in an excellent sedimentary sequence exposed in the Tianshui sub-basin of the Longzhong basin. According to the magnetostratigraphic analysis from the Yaodian and Lamashan sections, we speculate that the late Cenozoic Tianshui basin accumulated lacustrine/floodplain deposits from *14.8 to *2.6 Ma. In addition, detrital apatite fission-track thermochronologic and paleocurrent data reveal that the detritus of the Tianshui basin mostly derived from the Western Qinling and that the youngest population age represents a *14 Ma volcanic intrusion, which can be related to the lithospheric deformation and uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. Furthermore, two stages of variations in depositional facies and average accumulation rates were attributed to the pulse uplift and deformation of the Western Qinling at 9.2-7.4 and *3.6 Ma.

Northward growth of the Qimen Tagh Range: A new model accounting for the Late Neogene strike-slip deformation of the SW Qaidam Basin. Tectonophysics, Elsevier, 2014, 632, pp.32-47. 10.1016/j.tecto.2014 A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T initially a left-lateral strike-slip fault system rather than a thrusting system. Growth strata indicate an Early Miocene onset age for this strike-slip deformation. However, earthquakes focal mechanisms show that the present-day tectonic pattern of this fault system is dominated by NE-SW transpression. As for the Qimen Tagh fault system, numerous linear geomorphic features and fault scarps indicate that it was again a strike-slip fault system. Deformed sediments within the Adatan Valley prove that strike-slip motion prevailed during the Pleistocene, yet the present day deformation is marked by NE-SW transpression. Collectively, the Kunbei and Qimen Tagh fault systems were initially left-lateral strike-slip fault systems that formed during Early Miocene and Pleistocene respectively. Colligating with these southward younging left-lateral strike-slip faulting ages and the fact that these convex-northward structures converge to the center segment of active Kunlun Fault in the east, we thus considered the Kunbei and Qimen Tagh fault systems as former western segments of the Kunlun Fault once located further south in the present-day location of that fault. These faults gradually migrated northward since the Early Miocene while their kinematics changed from left-lateral strike-slip motion to NE-SW transpression.
