...Yiguan Lu; C. Michael Lesher; Liqiang Yang; Matthew I. Leybourne; Wenyan He ABSTRACT The ∼259 Ma Baimazhai Ni-Cu-(platinum-group element) deposit is located in the Ailaoshan-Red River fault zone on the southwest margin of the Yangtze Plate in the Jinping area of southeastern Yunnan Province...

... (60–80° NE; Red River, Ailaoshan, Jiujia–Anding Amojiang faults) cut the belt. The faults are tightly clustered in the NW and divergent toward the SE (Fig.  1 b). The Proterozoic Ailaoshan Group lies between the Red River and Ailaoshan faults. The group is composed of upper greenschist- to lower...

... in a collisional orogen. Unravelling its spatial and temporal record is often complicated by intense tectonic deformation, including strike-slip faulting. New Hf-Nd isotope mapping of two Cenozoic potassic rock assemblages along the Ailaoshan−Red River shear zone from the SE Tibetan Plateau, together with Sr-Nd-Hf...

... and the Ailaoshan-Red River porphyry subbelt in the south ( Hou et al., 2003 , 2007 ; Deng et al., 2010b , 2014b ; Xu et al., 2012 ). The Yulong porphyry subbelt was associated with a set of secondary NNW-directed strike-slip faults and folds triggered by the Jinshajiang right-lateral strike-slip fault system...

... with the extensional dynamics in the Ailaoshan region, resulted in strong left-lateral strike-slip faulting in the Shiwandashan area, located at the transition between the promontory and the bay. This process formed the Shiwandashan pull-apart basin and negative flower structures (Fig. 13B). Interestingly...
