Along-strike diachroneity in deposition of the Kailas Formation in central southern Tibet: Implications for Indian slab dynamics

The Oligo-Miocene Kailas Formation is exposed along strike for ~1,300 km within the southernmost Lhasa terrane. In this study, we document the sedimentology, structure, and age of this unit exposed between 87˚ and 90˚ E. Within this region, the Kailas Formation is composed of continental deposits do...
