“…It comprises a series of arcuate anticlines and synclines, exhibiting the chevron syncline-thrust system. The Banxi Group and its equivalents of Meso-to Neo-proterozoic age in the Yangtze Plate comprise the metamorphic basement (Yan et al, 2003). The sedimentary cover consists mainly of folded Paleozoic and Lower Mesozoic strata of shallow-marine origin.…”

“…(1) After structural analysis of some anticlines, Yan et al (2003Yan et al ( , 2009) considered the multi-layer over-thrust system to develop in the Middle Jurassic to Late Cretaceous as part of an intracontinental orogen within the Yangtze Plate as a result of indentation tectonics following the Early Mesozoic collision of the North China and South China blocks.…”

New and mostly published apatite fission-track (AFT) data are compiled to reveal the exhumation of the Mesozoic tectonic belt (MTB) within the Yangtze Plate, China. New AFT ages ranging from 51 ± 3 to 108 ± 5 Ma with mean measured track lengths between 11.8 ± 1.6 and 12.8 ± 2.0 µm, are obtained for the bedrock samples collected along a southeast to northwest transect across the MTB, including the exceptional Huangling Dome in the northern Yangtze Plate. The diverse, involving the first rapid, following by a slow, and the final accelerating, cooling and inferred exhumation from the Late Mesozoic to the Cenozoic have been identified in the study region based on the AFT data and modeling. The onset of exhumation is earlier in the Huangling Dome than in the southeastern and northwestern MTB, and in the southeastern MTB than in the northwestern MTB. Similarly, the final stage of accelerating exhumation seemed to start earlier in the Huangling Dome than in the southeastern and northwestern MTB, but in the northwestern MTB than in the southeastern MTB. The diverse exhumation of the MTB should have been attributed to the far-field effect of the Pacific plate subduction in the Cretaceous to the east, and to the eastward and southeastward tectonic escape from the Tibetan plateau imposed by the India-Eurasia collision since ~55 Ma to the west.

Tectonically, the Sichuan basin is bounded on all sides by fold-thrust belts including the Micang Shan and Daba Shan belts (and the Qinling orogen and NCB) on the north, the Longmen Shan belt (and Songpan-Ganzi turbidite complex) on the west, the east Sichuan belt (Qiu et al, 2016;Yan et al, 2003) (and Jiangnan orogen and Cathaysia block) on the east, and the southwest Sichuan belt on the south (Fig. 1).…”
