Five anticlines, named Mushi (not shown in Fig. 2 ), Kashi, Atushi, Keketamu, and Tashipishake ( Fig. 2 ), make up three subparallel fold sets that trend east-west from the northeastern...

... ). Currently, deformation on the southern front of the Tian Shan is focused in several subparallel detachment or fault-propagation folds within the Kashi-Atushi fold-and-thrust belt ( Fig. 1 ) at rates >2–3 mm/yr ( Scharer et al., 2004 ; Chen et al., 2007 ; Heermance et al., 2008 ; Gao et al., 2013...

... these results not as convincing. In the Kashi Thrust Belt, magnetostratigraphic study of Heermance et al. (2007) and Qiao et al. (2016) revealed basal ages of ca. 5.3 Ma and ca. 6 Ma for the Atushi Formation. These results are supported by Pliocene fossils such as Hyacypris manasensi , Ilyocypris...

To constrain recent fold growth across three detachment folds in the Kashi-Atushi fold system in the SW Tian Shan, China, we surveyed flights of deformed terraces and compared them with geometric models of successively emplaced horizontal...

... Development). On a regional scale, Cenozoic deformation in the northeastern Pamir front is characterized by a thin-skinned fold–thrust belt, including the hinterland dipping duplex in the Pamir piedmont, the imbricate structure (Wuqia Group–Atushi Formation) beneath the Biertuokuoyi Basin, the PFT zone...
