“…In the northeast of the study area, near Kongkongchaka Lake, the Late Triassic strata are disconformably overlain by Early‐Middle Jurassic strata (Wang et al., 2022). The occurrence of another angular unconformity between Jurassic and Cenozoic strata reflects another episode of compressional deformation and regional uplift that is ascribed to the collision of Lhasa against the SQB (marking the closure of the Bangongco‐Nujiang Ocean) in late Early Cretaceous to early Late Cretaceous time (Liu et al., 2001, 2002; Wu et al., 2011, 2012; Ren et al., 2016; Li et al., 2017; Zhao et al., 2019a, 2019b; Cao et al., 2020; Ma et al., 2023). Subsequently, during the Cenozoic Himalayan orogeny, the collision of India against Eurasia resulted in another strong compressional episode in the SQB, and the development of large‐scale WNW‐trending thrust structures (e.g., Xiaochaka‐Shuanghu thrust) and transcurrent structures (e.g., Riganpei Co left‐lateral strike‐slip fault) (Figure 1b; Liu et al., 2022).…”
