Late Oligocene to Early Pliocene Exhumation and Structural Development in the Western Himalaya, Northern Pakistan: Implications for the Cenozoic Metamorphic Overprint
New middle Miocene to Pliocene (~14–3 Ma) apatite fission track (AFT) cooling ages combined with published K–Ar/Ar–Ar and zircon fission track (ZFT) ages from the Hazara and Swat regions of Pakistan are used to explain the Oligocene to Pliocene structural evolution in the Western Himalaya. The struc...
