    Notes: South of the Main Mantle Thrust in north Pakistan, rocks of the northern edge of the Indian plate were deformed and metamorphosed during the main southward thrusting phase of the Himalayan orogeny. In the Hazara region, between the Indus and Kaghan Valleys, metamorphic grade increases northwards from chlorite zone to sillimanite zone rocks in a typically Barrovian sequence. Metamorphism was largely synchronous with early phases of the deformation. The metamorphic rocks were subsequently imbricated by late north-dipping thrusts, each with higher grade rocks in the hanging wall than in the footwall, such that the metamorphic profile shows an overall tectonic inversion. The rocks of the Hazara region form one of a number of internally imbricated metamorphic blocks stacked, after the metamorphic peak, on top of each other during the late thrusting. This imbrication and stacking represents an early period of post-Himalayan uplift.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The Okahandja Lineament is considered to represent the southern margin of a magmatic arc produced by the northerly subduction of the Damran Ocean between 750 and 520 Ma ago. Sediments of the Orogen and granitoid intrusives produced by subduction and crustal melting, underwent shear deformation between 675 and 575 Ma in a low angle zone of sinistral sense shear. The Okahandja Lineament represents a zone of differential movement between the Central and Southern Zones of the Orogen during this simple shear deformation. Both overriding and overriden plates were deformed at about 550 and 520 Ma. Production of open S.E. verging structures on the northern plate was accompanied by more intense thrust and fold nappe production on the southern margin of the Damaran Orogen. During this last deformation event, the Central magmatic Zone was downfolded under the southern zone. This fold is the present expression of the Okahandja Lineament. Two tectonic models are proposed for the structures identified within the Central and Southern Zones of the Orogen, combined with evidence from the northern coastal arm of the Orogen.
    Abstract: Résumé Le linéament de Okahandja est considéré comme la marge bordant au sud un «arc magmatique» résultant de la subduction vers le nord de l'Océan damaranique durant l'intervalle 750-520 M. a. - Les sédiments de l'orogène et les intrusions granitoÏdes produites par la subduction et par la fusion de la croûte subirent, entre 675 et 575 M. a., de nobreuses déformations cisaillantes, sénestres, le long d'une zone faiblement inclinée. Le linéament de Okahandja représente, pour les déformations cisaillantes simples une zone de déplacements partiels entre la zone centrale et la zone méridionale de l'orogène. Les deux plaques, celle du toit et celle du mur, de ce chevauchement furent déformées entre approximativement 550 et 520 M. a. Ces structures ouvertes, déversées vers le nord, se formèrent dans la plaque septentrionale, pendant que des nappes en plis naissaient simultanément, sous l'influence d'une forte so sollicitation, dans la marge méridionale de l'orogène damaranique, ce qui entraÎna le ploiement de la zone magmatique centrale sous la zone méridionale. Ce pli est la forme sous laquelle apparaÎt aujourd'hui le linéament de Okahandja. Deux modèles tectoniques sont proposés pour expliqeur les structures ainsi reconnues dans les zones centrale et méridionale de l'orogène, sur la base du fait d'un bras le long de la cÔte septentrionale de l'orogène.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Das Okahandja-Lineament wird als der Südrand eines „magmatischen Bogens“ (Wurzelzone eines Inselbogens) verstanden, der auf die nordwÄrts gerichtete Subduktion des Damara Ozeans von 750 bis 520 Ma zurückgeführt wird. Die Sedimente des Orogens und die granitoiden Intrusiva, die durch Subduktion und daraus folgender Aufschmelzung der Kruste entstanden, erlitten mehrfache linksgerichtete Scherdeformation entlang einer flachliegenden Zone zwischen 675 und 575 Ma. Das Okahandja-Lineament stellt eine Zone von Teilbewegungen dar für die einfachen Scherdeformationen zwischen der zentralen und der südlichen Zone des Orogens. Die hangende und die liegende Platte wurden zwischen ca. 550 und 520 Ma deformiert. In der nördlichen Platte wurden offene SE-vergente Strukturen gebildet, wÄhrend gleichzeitig am südlichen Rand des Damara-Orogens durch die grö\ere Beanspruchung Falten-Decken entstanden. Dabei wurde die zentrale magmatische Zone unter die südliche Zone gebogen. Diese Falte ist das heutige Erscheinungsbild des Okahandja Lineaments. Zwei tektonische Modelle werden dargelegt, um die erkannten Strukturen in der zentralen und südlichen Zone des Orogens unter Verwendung der Evidenz vom nördlichen Küstenarm des Orogens zu erklÄren.

    Notes: [Auszug] The 1985 Chinese/British expedition to the Tibetan Plateau attempted to solve the question of the origin of the very thick crustal rocks in this region. Continuing northwards movement of the Indian plate over the past 38 Myr has given rise to severe folding and thrust faulting, causing crustal ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Recent field work on the Kohistan complex in the Karakorum Range of North Pakistan has shown its stratigraphy to be repeated by several phases of tight to isoclinal folding. This reveals a close association between igneous activity and a late deformation and complicates the previously proposed ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The sigmoidal curve in the trend of the Palaeozoic folds has the form of a ductile shear zone analogous to the small scale, ductile shear structures described from deformed igneous rocks1. This is confirmed by the parallelism of isogons drawn for the regional change in axial plane and cleavage ...
