Discovery of the large-scale thrust nappe and its geological significance in the southwestern Santanghu fold–thrust belt, NW China
Studying the structural evolution of the piedmont fold and thrust belt is one of the most important methods to interpret the mechanism of intracontinental collision orogeny. In this study, we have discovered a long-distance large-scale thrust nappe with a width of approximately 20 km in the southwes...
