西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段南北亚带蛇绿岩的成因探讨

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩带自萨嘎以西分为达巴-休古嘎布(南亚带)和萨嘎-达机翁(北亚带)两个亚带,但两者的关系和构造环境还存在争论。本文在实测剖面的基础上,对比南北亚带蛇绿岩产出和岩石组成,以及对比基性岩脉和围岩方辉橄榄岩的地球化学和年代学特征,探讨两个带的关系和构造环境。北带错不扎、加纳崩和巴尔基性岩脉具有高Si、Al,低K、Ti、P特征,属钙碱性玄武质成分,锆石U-Pb年龄为125~128Ma;南亚带东波、普兰、休古嘎布基性岩具有高Mg、Ti,低Si、K特征,为低钾拉斑玄武质成分,锆石U-Pb年龄为120~130Ma。南北带基性岩具有类似产状和年代学,球粒陨石标准化曲线与NMORB一致;N-MORB标准化蛛网图中显示Nb、Ta、Ti负异常,指示洋内俯冲带弧前或弧后环境。此外,两带基性岩围岩方辉橄榄岩中橄榄石、辉石、尖晶石具有类似的矿物成分特征,地球化学成分兼有弧前和深海地幔橄榄岩的特点,指示南北亚带蛇绿岩形成于俯冲带弧前环境。结合区域对比,南亚带蛇绿岩不发育沟-弧-盆体系,具有从北到南的构造侵位特征,南北亚带之间的仲巴微地体具有特提斯喜马拉雅的亲缘性,指示南北蛇绿岩亚带可能为相同大洋岩石圈的不同残余。     

南迦巴瓦峰地区雅鲁藏布蛇绿混杂岩带矿物学特征及时代

雅鲁藏布蛇绿混杂带在南迦巴瓦峰地区呈弧形连续分布，主要岩石类型有石英岩和云母石英片岩、绿片岩、斜长角闪岩、变质辉长岩、变余辉绿岩等。主要造岩矿物中，角闪石属富镁的镁角闪石、镁闪石、韭闪角闪石、浅闪角闪石等；单斜辉石为富镁的类型，成分相当于透辉石；橄榄石为典型的镁橄榄石；斜长石在角闪岩类中为中长石，是变质成因的。利用地质温压计估算出的变质温压条件分别为：t=500～650℃，P=0．75～0．8GPa，相当于角闪岩相变质作用，发生在47～47Ma左右。晚期经历了低温、高压变质作用，形成高压型的多硅白云母，时代为27～20Ma，与该区结合带边界阿尼桥断层和米林．鲁朗断层发生强烈走滑有关。地壳加速隆升、剥蚀时期形成的多硅白云母为中、低压型。     

雅鲁藏布大峡谷地区蛇绿混杂岩带初步研究

雅鲁藏布大峡谷地区主要有南迦巴瓦群(Pt₁nj)、大拐弯群(Mz)和冈底斯群(Pt₁gd)三个岩石地层单元。其中大拐弯群主要分布在楔入体的东缘,主要由变玄武岩/辉绿岩、辉石岩、镁质橄榄岩、石英岩和大理岩等组成,岩石类型和化学成分特征与蛇绿岩套类似。但其岩石化学性质与典型的大洋中脊蛇绿岩差别较大,形成环境为具有陆壳性质的中等—慢速扩张的小型洋盆,属陆间海/弧后盆地。自45 Ma以来,该地区经历了强烈的褶皱、隆升和剥蚀作用,使下部地壳暴露地表并形成无与伦比的世界第一大峡谷。     

The Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone ophiolitic mélange (southern Tibet): new insights from geochemistry of ultramafic rocks

The southern contact of the Yarlung-Zangbo Suture Zone ophiolitic belt is marked by a highly sheared serpentinite mélange containing ultramafic blocks. These peridotites can be divided into three main groups. (1) Lherzolites and Cpx-harzburgites contain brownish spinel with Mg# of 0.7–0.75 and Cr# of 0.15–0.27. They resemble fertile abyssal peridotites with generally smooth LREE-depleted and fairly flat MREE–HREE profiles. (2) Transitional harzburgites contain reddish spinels with Mg# of 0.57–0.66 and Cr# of 0.35–0.46. They resemble depleted abyssal or supra-subduction zone peridotites in that MREE–HREE profiles have positive slopes indicative of high degrees of partial melting. LREE profiles vary from depleted to slightly enriched, consistent with some interacting melt. (3) Harzburgites and dunites contain dark reddish spinels with Mg# of 0.47–0.68 and Cr# of 0.40–0.63. They have U-shaped profiles characteristics of interaction between LREE-enriched melt and REE-depleted mantle residues. Fractional melting modelling indicates that Cpx-harburgites may be the residues from 5 to 15% melting, transitional harzburgites from 15 to 23% melting, and harzburgites and dunites from 22 to 29% melting. The South Sandwich arc-basin system is considered a modern analog of the initial geodynamic setting.     

西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段巴尔地幔橄榄岩成因及构造意义

巴尔蛇绿岩属于雅鲁藏布江缝合带的西延部分,距拉萨约1200km,主要由地幔橄榄岩、少量的橄长堆晶岩和玄武岩组成.地幔橄榄岩主体为合单辉方辉橄榄岩,少量为二辉橄榄岩.根据巴尔蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩的结构构造特征,将矿物组合划分为3个世代,第一世代残余地幔矿物组合:橄榄石+斜方辉石+单斜辉石;第二世代部分熔融及熔-岩反应矿物组合:橄榄石+斜方辉石+单斜辉石+尖晶石;第三世代地幔交代作用矿物组合,主要为含水矿物角闪石.将3个世代的矿物组合归并为2个演化阶段:第一阶段,包括第一世代和第二世代矿物组合,形成于MOR(mid-ocean ridge)构造环境下的洋脊扩张阶段;第二阶段,为第三世代矿物角闪石,形成于SSZ(super-subduction zone)环境下的俯冲阶段.对比雅鲁藏布江缝合带不同区段蛇绿岩中地幔橄榄岩的特征,发现雅鲁藏布江缝合带存在MOR和SSZ两种类型的蛇绿岩,其中中段的蛇绿岩主要以典型的SSZ型地幔橄榄岩为主,而东、西段则以受到不同程度SSZ环境改造的MOR型地幔橄榄岩为主,认为雅鲁藏布江缝合带蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩演化分段性的特征,与新特提斯洋沿弧方向上板块活动的动力学机制的不均一有关.     

雅鲁藏布江开合带蛇绿岩地层

对西藏地层清理发现，沿雅鲁藏布江构造带分布的蛇绿岩，为具有类同正常沉积和沉积火山岩一样的有层、有序、有沉积构造及时代新老关系的蛇绿岩地层，它是特提斯洋开裂形成期的产物，赋予地层学的涵义，命名为雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩群，从下至上建立变质橄榄岩组、堆积杂岩组、辉绿岩床（墙）组、枕状熔岩组及放射虫硅质岩、浊积岩组。它们构成完整的五套结构地层组合，生成时代为侏罗纪－白垩纪。新近区调成果表明，沿雅鲁藏布江构造带尚有中三叠世－晚三叠世时期蛇绿岩地层存在的可能性。雅鲁藏布江侏罗纪－白垩纪地层区划，其北与冈底斯－念青唐古拉地层区的界线，应划在日喀则群北界；其南应是雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩群以南为界，南界同时是板块碰撞闭合边界或构造区划边界。     

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩中地幔柱型岩浆作用——来自氦、氩同位素的证据

雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩的氦、氩同位素组成分别是：蛇绿岩中变质橄榄岩的^3He/^4He比值为1．104-3．384Ra,平均为2．383Ra;玄武岩的He同位素组成比较均一,^3He/^4He平均值为5．359 Ra;辉绿岩的^3He／^4He比值变化较大,为1—5Ra。由于各岩石样品有不同程度的蚀变,造成放射性成因He的加入,因此大多数样品He同位素组成比低于亏损地幔大洋中脊玄武岩的值(MORB≈8Ra),不能真实反映源区特征。而采自吉定的辉绿岩样品^3He/^4He比值平均高达31．57Ra,与夏威夷发现的热点地幔源区的样品比值接近;分步加热法进一步测试,其高比值的He是在低温区段释放的。这种高^3He/^4He比值He的捕获,表明雅鲁藏布江蛇绿岩形成时存在地幔柱型富集地幔岩浆作用。     

雅鲁藏布江大峡谷的形成

通过对雅鲁藏布大峡谷流域地貌形成响应时间域的定量估算,大峡谷与上游河道特征的对比,以及大峡谷入口处河湖阶地的沉积分析和定年研究,结合构造研究的新进展和数值地貌分析成果,系统论证了雅鲁藏布大峡谷的形成。研究结果表明,现今的雅鲁藏布大峡谷与大峡谷上游的河道在大峡谷形成之前分属不同的河流体系,大约在距今30ka BP前后,原属于帕隆藏布江水系支流的扎曲—直白河段因溯源侵蚀,袭夺了位于现今直白河段上游的古雅鲁藏布江水系,使得此前向南经南伊沟（纳伊普曲）流出高原的古雅鲁藏布江与帕隆藏布江合二为一,雅鲁藏布大峡谷得以贯通和强烈的侵蚀下切,形成现今著名的大峡谷和大拐弯式样的流域结构。     

微量元素和Pb同位素对西藏雅鲁藏布构造带日喀则蛇绿岩形成环境的制约

西藏南部雅鲁藏布构造带分布有一系列蛇绿岩体。人们对这些蛇绿岩体的形成环境仍然存在较大的争议。雅鲁藏布构造带中段日喀则蛇绿岩路曲和大竹曲岩体镁铁质岩石的微量元素和Pb同位素特征指示其母岩浆起源于亏损地幔源区。这些镁铁质岩石的La/Sm和Sm/Yb比值显示其岩浆产生于尖晶石二辉橄榄岩地幔经过大约10%部分熔融作用。综合岩相学和全岩主量元素特征暗示这些镁铁质岩石形成于无水玄武质岩浆。而且这些镁铁质岩石的微量元素和REE元素配分模式均非常相似于N-MORB,除了弱Nb-Ta负异常。这些特征表明路曲和大竹曲岩体形成于大洋中脊环境。此外,路曲和大竹曲镁铁质岩石的Pb同位素结果指示其地幔源区与印度洋MORB地幔域具有相似的地球化学特征。这些镁铁质岩石N-MORB标准化微量元素模式显示弱Nb-Ta负异常可能是由于其地幔源区交代了古老的俯冲带物质。     

西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合带东波地幔橄榄岩中金刚石的发现及地质意义

本文报道了雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段的东波蛇绿岩地幔橄榄岩中发现与罗布莎和普兰岩体相似的金刚石和特殊地幔矿物群。东波地幔橄榄岩体以方辉橄榄岩为主,含少量二辉橄榄岩和纯橄岩,辉石岩和辉长岩呈脉状产在方辉橄榄岩中。岩石地球化学特征表明东波岩体形成于MOR环境后受到SSZ环境的改造。通过重砂分选实验,在693 kg的地幔橄榄岩大样中发现了金刚石和碳硅石等30余种特殊矿物群,包括金刚石、自然铬、自然金、自然铁、自然硅、自然铜等自然元素矿物类;碳硅石等碳化物;铬尖晶石、金红石、铬铁矿、刚玉、黑钨矿、铌钽铁矿、磁铁矿、赤铁矿、方铁矿、锡石等氧化物;铁铬镍合金、镍铁合金、铜锌合金等合金互化物;辉钼矿、方铅矿、辉铋矿、黄铁矿、黄铜矿、毒砂和闪锌矿等硫化物;橄榄石、辉石、锆石、蓝晶石、白云母、蛇纹石、绿帘石等硅酸岩;萤石等氟化物。该矿物群与雅鲁藏布江缝合带的罗布莎和普兰两个岩体中发现的特殊矿物群非常类似,同时也为蛇绿岩型金刚石这一新类型提供了佐证。     

Geochemistry and tectonic significance of metamorphic sole rocks beneath the Beyşehir–Hoyran ophiolite (SW-Turkey)

The Beyşehir–Hoyran ophiolite is situated in the western part of the Tauride belt (SW Turkey) and crops out at two localities north of the lake Beyşehir. It mainly comprises harzburgitic peridotites that were tectonically emplaced to their present position during the Late Eocene. The ophiolites themselves are tectonically overlain by either slope basin deposits with lava blocks (Eğirler formation) or massive Triassic limestone blocks (Deliktaş formation). High-grade sub-ophiolitic metamorphic rocks, i.e. epidote amphibolite, amphibolite, and pyroxene amphibolite, together with minor quartzite and calcschist, are observed at the base of the ophiolite sequence, where they occur as thin tectonic slices with an inverted metamorphic gradient. Average P–T conditions of 630–770 °C and c. 6 ± 1.5 kbar are calculated for the metamorphism of the amphibolites by conventional geothermobarometry, corresponding to a burial depth of 18–20 km. Both the sub-ophiolitic metamorphic rocks and the overlying mantle tectonites were intruded by isolated tholeiitic (Nb/Y = 0.041–0.108) diabase dikes, which do not transect the tectonic contact between the two units. Geochemical investigations of the amphibolites of the sub-ophiolitic rock suite show two different geochemical affinities, with the first group being alkaline in character (Nb/Y = 1–3.86) and the second one being tholeiitic (Nb/Y = 0.064–0.13). REE patterns, trace element plots and tectonomagmatic discrimination diagrams indicate that the most probable protoliths for alkaline amphibolites are within-plate type alkali basalts, whereas those of the tholeiitic group resemble tholeiitic island arc basalts. Similarities between the geochemical characteristics of the amphibolites and those of the volcanic rocks of the Eğirler formation strongly suggest that the latter are the protoliths of the amphibolites.     

西藏雅鲁藏布江结合带色吾村白垩纪变基性岩锆石U-Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其地质意义

区域地质调查在青藏高原南部曲松县邱多江乡色吾村附近新发现白垩纪变基性岩,呈层状大面积分布于雅鲁藏布江缝合带南侧宋热岩组B岩段中。为查明这些变基性岩形成时代和地球化学特征,在详实的野外工作基础上,进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年和地球化学分析。所有样品的年龄值均属于早白垩世。主量元素地球化学特征显示,其属于低钾（拉斑）玄武岩系列;稀土元素分析结果显示,原始岩浆岩中晶出的斜长石较少或者未结晶,轻、重稀土元素之间具有相对较高的分馏程度;高场强元素相对明显的富集;大离子亲石元素亏损,Sr和Ba负异常明显;并认为变基性岩可能来自软流圈地幔。根据稳定富集的高场强元素投图,岩浆在就位和形成过程中受到地壳混染。构造环境分析认为,这套变基性岩具有洋中脊玄武岩MORB的特征,其形成可能与新特提斯洋被动大陆边缘热点与洋中脊相互作用有关。由于岩石变质变形作用强烈,镜下无法判断其原岩成分,从野外观察看,较接近火山岩的特征。若为火山喷发形成,将对雅鲁藏布江缝合带南部研究产生重要促进作用,并因此厘定出白垩纪地层。     

东波超镁铁岩体:西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段一个甚具铬铁矿前景的地幔橄榄岩体

东波超镁铁岩体产在雅鲁藏布江缝合带的西段,与周边白垩纪沉积岩地层和火山岩以断层接触.航磁资料显示该岩体约400km2规模,地表出露连续,地下有一定延深.超镁铁岩体由亏损的地幔橄榄岩组成,主要有高镁的方辉橄榄岩、纯橄岩和少量二辉橄榄岩.方辉橄榄岩和二辉橄榄岩中橄榄石和斜方辉石属高镁型,分别为Fo=89.5～91.5和Mg#=90～91.5.但二辉橄榄岩中的Al2O3和CaO含量明显高于方辉橄榄岩.方辉橄榄岩中单斜辉石Mg#=92～95,二辉橄榄岩的Mg#=92～93,两者的值也重叠.二辉橄榄岩中的Al2O3和CaO含量要明显高于方辉橄榄岩.这些均为阿尔卑斯型地幔橄榄岩的典型特征.纯橄岩中的橄榄石Fo=92～93.2,其斜方辉石和单斜辉石的Mg#=～93,但Al2O3和CaO的含量比方辉橄榄岩和二辉橄榄岩的低.三种岩石的成分变化规律,反映了地幔部分熔融程度的差异.二辉橄榄岩铬尖晶石的Cr#值20～30,反映为典型深海橄榄岩特征,指示MOR环境.与其不同的是,方辉橄榄岩的铬尖晶石的Cr#=20～75,指示MOR和SSZ两者兼有环境.岩石的原始地幔标准化的REE和微量元素蛛网图模式支持了上述的认识.东波地幔橄榄岩中的岩石学特征与产有大型铬铁矿床的罗布莎地幔橄榄岩可对比,岩体中已多处发现块状铬铁矿石,其铬铁矿的Cr2O3含量56％～59％,表明东波是寻找铬铁矿大矿和富矿甚具前景的一个超镁铁岩体.     

Early cretaceous ophiolites of the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone: insights from dolerites and peridotites from the Baer upper mantle suite,SW Tibet (China)

The Baer ophiolitic massif is located in the northern sub-belt of the western segment of the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone (YZSZ) and mainly consists of a lherzolite-dominant mantle suite, dolerite intrusions and limited crustal outcrops. The dolerites show sub-ophitic texture and light rare earth element-depleted chondrite-normalized rare earth element patterns similar to normal-mid-ocean ridge basalts (N-MORB); though, they display enrichments in fluid-mobile elements (Rb, Ba, and Sr) and marked depletions in Th and Nb. The U–Pb ages of several magmatic zircon grains recovered from two dolerite samples indicate that the intrusion of the dikes into the Baer lherzolitic mantle occurred at 125.6–126.3 Ma, consistent with the widespread mafic magmatism between 120 and 130 Ma in the Yarlung Zangbo ophiolites. The dolerites have slightly more radiogenic ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios (0.7043–0.7054) in comparison to N-MORB, whereas they show ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd values (0.513067–0.513114) similar to N-MORB and high zircon Hf-isotope compositions. They have a limited range of Nd-isotope (ε_Nd(t) values: +8.2 to +9.1) and juvenile Hf-isotope compositions (ε_Hf(t) values: +8.4 to +14.2 and +10.0 to +15.1) indicating derivation from mantle melts. The moderate spread in the ε_Hf (t) values of zircons indicates derivation of the dolerites parental magma from a weakly contaminated spinel-bearing mantle source. This is also corroborated by the geochemical signatures of the Baer dolerites (enrichment in LILE and depletion in HFSE) suggesting minor slab input to the mantle source of the dike-filling melt. We suggest that the genesis of the dolerite dike-forming melt happened at a stage of subduction initiation in a sub-oceanic mantle domain mildly affected by fluids emanating from the downgoing slab. Our data combined with literature data allow us to presume that the intrusion of the dolerites into the Baer mantle corresponds to an early phase of subduction initiation beneath a developing forearc basin.     

雅鲁藏布大峡谷地质成因

文中总结了雅鲁藏布大峡谷科学探险考察中获得投奔 石学和构造地质学认识与区域上已经取得的多学科成果,论述了牙鲁藏布大峡谷得以形成的根本原因是该地区深部存在着地幔上涌体,雅鲁藏布大峡谷和大另弯的形成是地幔上涌体作用于岩石圈和地表的效应。地幔上涌体的确认揭开了该地区的特有的生物学,气候特征等方面的奥秘,雅鲁藏布大峡谷及其周缘地区是大陆动力学研究,壳－幔动力学,地球系统中各圈层间耦合作用及大陆块体运动学研     

雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段东波蛇绿岩OIB型玄武岩的厘定及其形成环境

雅鲁藏布江缝合带(YZSZ)西段分为两支,南带蛇绿岩的成因对整个缝合带的性质和构造背景的探讨起到十分关键作用,但由于地区偏远、交通不便,研究程度一直十分薄弱.本文报道了南带的东波蛇绿岩中洋岛型玄武岩及有关沉积岩的发现和成因探讨.东波蛇绿岩主要由地幔橄榄岩(方辉橄榄岩、含单辉方辉橄榄岩和透镜状纯橄岩)和上覆火山-沉积岩组成,未见堆晶岩和枕状熔岩等典型洋壳端元.火山-沉积岩盖层为一套稳定的海相层序,主要由硅质灰岩、红色硅质岩等沉积岩和玄武岩和玄武火山碎屑岩组成.OIB型玄武岩的特征表现为低SiO2和MgO,高TiO2、P2O5和(K2O+Na2O),富集Nb、Ta,亏损Th、K、Pb、Sr.微量元素和Sr、Nd、Pb同位素数据显示,该玄武质源区来自石榴石尖晶石二辉橄榄岩2％ ～ 5％的部分熔融.成分研究显示,硅质岩形成于大陆边缘环境,为洋岛或海山和大陆边缘物质在生物作用下形成的.以上证据表明,东波火山-沉积岩层序具有典型海山特征,与世界上典型的地幔柱型蛇绿岩可对比,属于地幔柱热点活动的产物.因此,可以认为,地幔柱热点在与冈瓦纳大陆北缘岩石圈地幔相互作用过程中,不但促使YZSZ西段南带(达巴-休古嘎布)特提斯洋盆打开,还可能与YZSZ蛇绿岩中普遍包含金刚石等异常地幔矿物群有直接的动力学关系.

西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合带泽当地幔橄榄岩的矿物化学和铂族元素特征

泽当蛇绿岩位于雅鲁藏布江缝合带东段,由地幔橄榄岩、辉长辉绿岩、火山岩等组成。地幔橄榄岩主要为方辉橄榄岩和二辉橄榄岩,有少量的铬铁矿化方辉橄榄岩和透镜状纯橄岩。地幔橄榄岩中橄榄石的Fo值为89.6~91.8,属镁橄榄石。斜方辉石为顽火辉石,En端员组分变化于87.8~90.3。单斜辉石En组分变化于44.1~50.0,主要为顽透辉石和透辉石。二辉橄榄岩与方辉橄榄岩铬尖晶石的Cr#为17.0~31.8,为富铝型尖晶石。泽当地幔橄榄岩PGE总量为16.67×10-9~32.59×10-9,与原始地幔相似。矿物化学特征显示泽当二辉橄榄岩属于深海型地幔橄榄岩,方辉橄榄岩属于弧前地幔橄榄岩。尖晶石Cr#、橄榄石Mg#的变化以及高Os含量(3.50×10-9~7.75×10-9)表明泽当地幔橄榄岩经历了部分熔融过程;正斜率的PGE配分模式以及较高的Pd/Ir值(1.09~3.94)表明泽当地幔橄榄岩受到了俯冲带环境下地幔交代作用的改造。泽当地幔橄榄岩矿物学特征与铂族元素地球化学特征显示其形成于MOR环境,后受到SSZ环境的改造。     

Burial and exhumation history of the Xigaze forearc basin,Yarlung suture zone. Tibet

The Cretaceous-Eocene Xigaze forearc basin is a crucial data archive for understanding the tectonic history of the Asian continental margin prior to and following collision with India during the early Cenozoic Era. This study reports apatite and zircon(U-Th)/He thermochronologic data from fourteen samples from Albian-Ypresian Xigaze forearc strata to determine the degree and timing of heating(burial) and subsequent cooling(exhumation) of two localities along the Yarlung suture zone(YSZ) near the towns of Saga and Lazi. Thirty-seven individual zircon He ages range from 31.5 ± 0.8 Ma to6.06 ± 0.18 Ma,with the majority of grains yielding ages between 30 Ma and 10 Ma. Twenty apatite He ages range from 12.7 ± 0.5 Ma to 3.9 ± 0.3 Ma,with the majority of grains yielding ages between 9 Ma and 4 Ma. These ages suggest that the Xigaze forearc basin was heated to 140-200 ℃ prior to cooling in Oligocene-Miocene time. Thermal modeling supports this interpretation and shows that the samples were buried to maximum temperatures of ～140-200 0 C by 35-21 Ma, immediately followed by the onset of exhumation. The zircon He and apatite He dataset and thermal modeling results indicate rapid exhumation from ～21 Ma to 15 Ma, and at ～4 Ma. The 21-15 Ma thermochronometric signal appears to be regionally extensive, affecting all the lithotectonic units of the YSZ, and coincides with movement along the north-vergent Great Counter Thrust system. Thrusting, coupled with enhanced erosion possibly related to the paleo-Yarlung River, likely drove Early Miocene cooling of the Xigaze forearc basin.In contrast, the younger phase of rapid exhumation at ～4 Ma was likely driven by enhanced rock uplift in the footwall of north-striking rifts that cross-cut the YSZ.
