New paleomagnetic constraints on syntectonic growth strata in the western Qaidam Basin, NE Tibetan Plateau

Accompanied by crustal shortening and mountain uplift caused by the large-magnitude south-north directed shortening under the collision between India and Eurasia, syntectonic growth strata in the western Qaidam Basin document important information about intense intracontinental deformation of the NE Tibetan Plateau. To better address the development of the Qaidam basin and the propagation of the growth strata associated with multiple tectonic...
