“…The meaning of the term Inthanon Zone has, however, evolved with time. Ridd (2014) noted that in the most recent definitions some authors have envisioned the Inthanon Zone as a foreland fold and thrust belt located west of the Palaeo-Tethys suture (Hara et al, 2009;Barber et al, 2011;Cobbing, 2011;Crow and Khin Zaw, 2011), although Ridd (2014) dissented from this view. Some workers go further, and consider the Inthanon Zone to be separate of Sibumasu itself, or at best on the marginal flanks of Sibumasu (e.g., Ueno, 1999;Ueno and Hisada, 2001).…”

“…However, more and more researchers believed that the Paleotethys Ocean extends along the Raub-Bentong and Changning-Menglian zones from Peninsular Malaysia to northern Thailand and then to southwest China, evidenced by the wide presence of the late Paleozoic deformation, metamorphism and magmatism (e.g. Zhong, 1998;Hara et al, 2009;Villeneuve et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2010). The association of metagreywacke, metabasite, marble, ultramafic and plagiogranite in the Song Ma anticlinorium could be interpreted as the metamorphosed relic of a fore-arc and island arc complex (e.g., Metcalfe, 1996Metcalfe, , 2010.…”

“…This represents the similar situation as what can be seen in the Changning-Menglian Belt of West Yunnan, where Palaeotethyan oceanic rocks of the Central Zone are distributed as structural nappes on the basement rocks of the East and West zones essentially constituting a part or an extending passive margin of the Eastern Cimmerian Continent. Recent structural studies by Hara (2005) and Hara et al (2009) carried out in Northern Thailand supported this view.…”

The Changning-Menglian Belt of West Yunnan, SW China and the Inthanon Zone of Northern Thailand are the two best-studied Palaeotethyan collisional belts in Asia. These belts comprise thick pure carbonate successions with basalt at the base, ranging from the Early Carboniferous to the end of the Permian. They are interpreted to have a mid-oceanic buildup x origin and have been formed on the top of seamounts and/or oceanic plateaus. The mid-oceanic carbonates in the Inthanon Zone are called the Doi Chiang Dao Limestone and we newly propose in this paper the term Banka Limestone for those in the Changning-Menglian Belt. Foraminiferal faunas from these limestones revealed that they have good Lopingian records of a mid-oceanic shallow-marine domain in the Palaeotethys, and three consecutive foraminiferal zones can be established. The Wuchiapingian is represented by the Codonofusiella kwangsiana Zone comprising four fusuline and 21 non-fusuline foraminiferal genera. The early Changhsingian is distinguished by the Palaeofusulina simplicata/minima Zone, and contains seven fusuline and 27 non-fusuline genera. The succeeding Palaeofusulina sinensis/prisca Zone in the late Changhsingian is characterized by the occurrence of large and advanced Palaeofusulina, and still maintained a high generic diversity with eight fusuline and 36 non-fusuline genera. The Lopingian foraminiferal faunal succession of the mid-oceanic Palaeotethys is essentially similar to those observed in cratonic South China. This is suggestive of a major oceanic part of the Palaeotethys to be included palaeobiogeographically in the Cathaysian Province. The coeval Neotethyan domain also had a high-diversified fauna with the occurrence of six fusuline and nearly 30 non-fusuline genera but lacked Palaeofusulina in Changhsingian time. Panthalassan mid-oceanic build-ups during Lopingian time carried likely lower foraminiferal diversity than those of the Palaeo-and Neotethys. Essentially, Tethyan mid-oceanic carbonate buildups x presumably provided a peculiar habitat suitable for shallow-marine foraminifers in a pelagic equatoro-tropical setting throughout almost the entire Lopingian time.
