Contemporaneous east–west extension and north–south compression at 43 Ma in the Himalayan orogen

It was previously proposed that the onset of east–west extension in the Himalayan orogen occurred after ca. 19 Ma. Here we present a Re–Os isochron age of ca. 43 Ma for sulfides from the Zhaxikang Zn–Pb–Sb–Ag polymetallic deposits, which occur within N–S–striking normal faults that reflect E–W exten...
