On the basis of regional geological surveys and by making astructural analysis and a multidisciplinary study, it has been ascertained that the segment withthe best displayed image characteristics is marked by a gravity gliding structure with a multilay-er gliding fold type architecture. This paper also analyzes the medium conditions, slope struc-ture and dynamic setting for the formation of the structure system.展开更多

The folds dip to east and fall down toward west, and were superimposed by the main stage folding.Thereafter, a series of folds were developed with axes trending toward northeast.Consequently normal folds occurred on the normal limbs while overturned fold on the overturned limbs during the first stage folding. The detachment or thrust was formed from late Jurassic to early Cretaceous. Due to the uplifting of Dabie and the Wannan Mountains in the north and south sides, the bi-directional thrusting belt was formed by gravity flowing from the Mountains toward the center of the basin along the north side of Xuancheng and south side of Guichi. The deformation geodynamics was discussed simply based on the newly recognized information about the tectonic evolution.展开更多
