Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The Triassic collision between the Yangtze and North China blocks resulted in the formation of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks along the Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt, the development of the Tan-Lu fault zone, and the establishment of a crustal-scale décollement within the Lower Yangtze foreland fold-thrust zone. The ductile fabrics exposed in the Zhangbaling–Feidong Complex of the southern Tan-Lu fault zone record the strain that accumulated during that collision. Herein, field observations and structural analysis of high-strain rocks (i.e. microstructures and quartz crystallographic preferred orientations) from the eastern Feidong Complex are combined with estimates of deformation P-T conditions to reveal that top-to-SSW subhorizontal, amphibolite-facies (600 and 700℃, 4.0–6.6 Kbar) ductile fabrics overprint the Paleo-Proterozoic Feidong Complex. U–Pb geochronology on zircon rims and syntectonic titanite indicates that the overprinting deformation occurred in the Middle Triassic (ca. 246–242 Ma). Reinterpretation of reflection seismic profiles across the Tan-Lu fault zone and Lower Yangtze foreland fold-and-thrust zone identifies a large, subhorizontal décollement beneath the sedimentary cover that appears to have influenced the formation of fold-thrust structures in the Lower Yangtze foreland. These new observations and geochronological results are consistent with a transpressional tectonic model wherein the Early-Middle Triassic northward indentation of the Yangtze block into the North China block drove deformation within the southern Tan-Lu fault zone.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
