Extract

The Dabie Mountains is a collisional orogen between the North China and Yantze Continental plates. It is composed, from south to north, of the foreland fold and thrust belt alternated with molasse basin, the subducted cover and basement of the Yangtze continental plate, the meta-ophiolitic melange belt, the forearc meta-flysch nappe (bounded by southward and northward thrust belts) in which there may be a buried volcanic arc and a relict back-arc basin (Fig. 1A) (Xu et al., 1992a, 1994).
