Tajik Basin and Southwestern Tian Shan, Northwestern India‐Asia Collision Zone: 1. Structure, Kinematics, and Salt Tectonics in the Tajik Fold‐and‐Thrust Belt of the Western Foreland of the Pamir

Abstract: Surface, seismic, and borehole data characterize the Neogene-Recent Tajik fold-and-thrust belt of the Tajik basin. The basin experienced little sub-detachment basement deformation, acting as a rigid foreland plate during the Pamir orogeny. The Tajik fold-and-thrust belt contains variable thin-skinned structural styles, changing along and across strike as a function of the thickness and facies of Upper Jurassic evaporites, which constitute the basal detachment, and the influence of the surrounding thick-skinned… Show more

“…(c) New fold‐fault map of Cenozoic structures of the Tajik basin and surrounding thick‐skinned fold‐thrust belts. Interpreted from 1:200,000 geological maps and Soviet seismic and drill‐hole data (compilation in Gągała et al, 2020), the Geological and Mineral Resource Map of Afghanistan (Doebrich & Wahl, 2006), satellite images (Google Earth®), and fieldwork between 2004 and 2014.…”

“…Figure 2b sketches the constraints imposed by the foreland shortening of the Asian (Tajik) crust on the geometry of the Tajik‐basin lithosphere (Pamir slab) beneath the Pamir (cf. Gągała et al, 2020). Sippl, Schurr, Yuan, et al, 2013) interpreted the subvertical cluster of seismicity between ~100‐ and 200‐km depth as representing eclogitized Asian (Tajik) lower crust, overlain between 60 and 100 km by subducted middle crust.…”
