... is characterized by simultaneous shortening along the Main Central thrust and extension at shallower crustal levels in part developed on the basis of knowledge of the age of the Rongbuk granite and its apparent crosscutting relationship with the Qomolangma detachment. This key contact, however, has not previously...

... to any crustal extensional processes. U–(Th)–Pb dating of peraluminous leucogranites exposed on Mt Everest (21–20 Ma), Nuptse ( c. 19–18 Ma) and along the Rongbuk valley (15.6–15.4 Ma) show that ductile extrusion occurred during the Early Miocene, with brittle faulting at <15.4 Ma during exhumation...
