| 英文摘要 | The pre-Miocene northeastern termination of Altyn Tagh fault is a critical outstanding problem for understanding the mechanics of Cenozoic deformation resultant from the Indo-Asian collision and mechanisms of Tibetan Plateau formation. Structures beyond the widely accepted NE end of the Altyn Tagh fault, near the town of Yumen, are needed in order to accommodate strike-slip deformation related to plate-like lateral extrusion tectonics, but structures with the necessary slip magnitudes and histories have not been identified. We report on a series of newly recognized and documented E to ENE-striking faults within the Alxa block, NE of the Tibetan Plateau, that are visible on remotely sensed images and confirmed by field studies. These structures are demonstrably left-lateral faults based on offset geology and kinematic indicators such as striae and s-c fabrics in fault gouge. The faults have post-Cretaceous offsets of at least tens to possibly >150 km, but limited post-Miocene displacement, constrained by offset sedimentary basins. These characteristics suggest that strike-slip faults of the Alxa region have a similar structural history as the central-eastern Altyn Tagh fault and can provide a mechanism for accommodating Oligocene-Early Miocene extrusion along the Altyn Tagh fault.
