Eocene north–south trending dikes in central Tibet: New constraints on the timing of east–west extension with implications for early plateau uplift?

Eocene north–south trending dikes in central Tibet: New constraints on the timing of east–west extension with implications for early plateau uplift?

East–west extension has been a prominent feature of Cenozoic tectonics in central-southern Tibet, and the onset of this extension has been interpreted as indicating the surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau to a critical level. Previous studies suggested that extension started in the Neogene between...
