“…Assuming the Shan State Massif, Thailand, and the Malay Peninsula were all part of the same (Shan-Thai-Malay) plate throughout their history, this plate began to travel northward away from Gondwana in the Permocarboniferous or, at the latest, after the Early Triassic. It may have joined the South China Block by the Late Triassic [Achache and Courtillot, 1985], which could explain the orogenic phase of deformation of that age in the zone between the Shan State Massif and the South China Block, but there is insufficient paleomagnetic evidence to contim this. A large cumulative rotation of about 160 ø of the Shan-Thai-Malay plate may have happened in stages, first as it drifted northward and later because of the extrusion caused by the India-Asia collision process.…”

“…A considerable quantity of such data are now available from southern and south-east Asia (Klootwijk and Bingham 1980;McElhinny et al 1981;Wensink 1981Wensink , 1983CCOP Project Office 1982;Achache et al 1983;Klootwijk et al 1983Klootwijk et al , 1985Westphal et al 1983;Besse et al 1984;Otofuji and Matsuda 1984;Pozzi et al 1984;Achache and Courtillot 1985;Kono and Tanaka 1985;Lin et al 1985). However, while the palaeomagnetic reliability is generally much better established than for cratonic areas, most of the newer data are from areas that are frequently only poorly known geologically.…”

“…Extrusion implies that Indochina moved eastward and rotated clockwise as a set of more or less rigid blocks. Paleomagnetic data from eastern Thailand (Achache and Courtillot, 1985;Yang and Besse, 1993), west-central Thailand (Yan and Courtillot, 1989;Yang et al, 1995) and China (Yuyan and Morinaga, 1999) support an amount and sense of rotation consistent with block extrusion. The Northern Thailand Basin and Range Province (NTBRP), located between the Red River and Mae Ping faults, lies in the center of this zone of extrusion, and is ideally located within one of the 'rigid' blocks of the extrusion model (Fig.…”
