Extension tectonics: The Neogene opening of the north–south trending basins of central Thailand

Abstract: Paleomagnetic samples were collected from late Neogene basalt flows from Thailand. All of these flows are horizontal and are relatively unaltered in thin section. These rocks possess a stable magnetization which is believed to be primary. Samples from 48 lava flows were collected from sites located within the Khorat Plateau, the Chao Phraya‐Phitsanulok Basin, and the mountainous terrane west of the Chao Phraya‐Phitsanulok Basin. These data were combined with previously reported late Neogene data from five flow… Show more

“…The climax of extensional tectonism is marked by the eruption of Late Tertiary and Early to Middle Quaternary alkaline basalts (Hoke and Campbell, 1995). Paleomagnetic data, showing localized rotations during the Tertiary, indicates that the opening of these basins appears to have been fairly complex (McCabe et al, 1988(McCabe et al, , 1993Richter et al, 1993).…”

“…In Thailand, most of the basalt outcrops are widely dispersed with no obvious pattern, but some outcrops appear to be elongated on a north-south trend MacDonald, 1978, 1979). McCabe et al (1988) studied the paleomagnetism of the basins of central Thailand as a major phase of east-west extension occurred during the late Neogene.…”
