“…Therefore, we suggest that the “lower crustal flow” and the “brittle crustal shortening” models are not exclusive in building the eastern TP margin. The tectonic mechanism of this margin can be portrayed by a crocodile‐type tectonic wedging model, in which shortening strains are accommodated by the indentation of the rigid Yangtze crust into the weak BFB crust (Cai et al, ; G. W. Zhang et al, ), generating a coupled crust and mantle but partially decoupled upper and lower crust (Tan et al, ). A similar structural type is found in the East Kunlun fault (Z. Liu et al, ).…”

“…Low‐temperature thermochronology data have revealed that the eastern TP has undergone rapid exhumation since the late Cenozoic (Godard et al, ; Richardson et al, ; Tan et al, , ; Tian et al, ; E. Wang et al, ). It has been estimated that the LMS was denuded ~7–10 km during the Cenozoic (B. Deng et al, ; Tan et al, ), which resulted in the exposure of Precambrian metasedimentary or igneous rocks (Burchfiel et al, ; S.F. Chen et al, ; Lu et al, ; Yin & Harrison, ).…”
