Abstract

Abstract

Based on the regional geological survey, the characteristics of the faults in Jianchuan-Hutiaoxia area and the boundary of the Yangtze Craton and Tibet-Sanjiang Orogenic System were discussed. The results show that there exist EW trending large-scale thrust nappe structures in this region. Through the observation of several sections which started from Jianchuan to Baihanchang-Ruhanping and Zhongyi Village in Lijiang, and ended in Hutiaoxia town (Xiatiaotou) in Shangri-La, it is revealed that the stable sequences including Paleozoic and Mesozoic Triassic strata of Yangtze craton are thrust nappes, overlying westward on the strata sequences of the Tibetan-Sanjiang orogenic system, with the thrusting distance over 50 km. Therefore the Jianchuan-Hutiaoxia fault is a narrow tectonic window instead of the boundary of the Yantze Craton and the Sanjiang orogenic system. The Erhai-Jianchuan-Lijiang-Muli fault is suggested as the boundary of the two plates, extending southward to the Red River fault.
