The South Tibetan Detachment System, Himalayan Orogen: Extension Contemporaneous With and Parallel to Shortening in a Collisional Mountain Belt
Abstract
Six transects mapped across the boundary between the Tibetan sedimentary sequence and the underlying Greater Himalayan metamorphic sequence in southern Tibet demonstrate that a series of gently north-dipping normal faults, the South Tibetan detachment system, separates these two rocks sequences. Down-to-the-north movement on the detachments was Miocene to perhaps Pliocene in age and contemporaneous with structurally lower south-vergent thrusting within the Himalayan orogen to the south; thus, shortening and extension were contemporaneous and parallel at two different levels within the Himalayan and south Tibetan crust. Mapping during this study indicates that the South Tibetan detachment system continues for at least...

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
