Cenozoic right-slip faulting along the eastern margin of the Pamir salient, northwestern China

Eric Cowgill
Journal: GSA Bulletin
Published: 01 January 2010
GSA Bulletin (2010) 122 (1-2): 145–161.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1130/B26520.1
...Eric Cowgill Abstract The Pamir salient defines the western end of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen and has overthrust the Tarim-Tajik basin to the north by ∼300 km along a late Cenozoic, south-dipping intracontinental subduction zone. Field mapping, structural measurements, and analysis of mesoscale...

To reconcile the right-slip faulting reported here with previous paleomagnetic data from the Tajik basin, I suggest that overthrusting of the Tajik-Tarim basin by the Pamir was accommodated by a dextral transfer system along the eastern margin of the salient
