Structural geologic maps, field data and outcrop images from Cenozoic intramontane basins in southwestern Tian Shan

DOI

This data publication includes geologic-map and structural-field data that complement a structural analysis of intra-montane basins of the southwestern Tian Shan of Central Asia. The southwestern Tian Shan is defined as that part of the Tian Shan west of the Talas-Fergana Fault Zone that is located at the junction with the Pamir and the Afghan-Tajik Basin and stretches to the Fergana Basin in the north. It also includes an ArcGIS-Geodatabase with the shapefiles of the digitized stratigraphy and faults for the regional geological maps. The data are supplementary material to Trilsch et al. (2025): “Southwestern Tian Shan: 1. Deformation of Cenozoic Intra-montane Basins and Intervening Basement Ranges in Front of the Indian Mantle Indenter” (Tectonics; doi: added when published).

One Figure, provided as pdf file and ArcGIS shapefiles, provides a map of the southwestern Tian Shan that compiles structures that were active or potentially-active during the Cenozoic. Reliable Cenozoic structures affect Mesozoic-Cenozoic strata; potentially-Cenozoic ones displace younger over older Paleozoic strata, or show opposite vergence within a sequence of consistently-verging Paleozoic nappes. The other figures provide maps, structural-data stereoplots, field pictures, and outcrop sketches of several intra-montane basins of the southwestern Tian Shan. The supplementary material is useful for researchers aiming to study the geoscience of the western (Tajik, Uzbek, Kyrgyz) Tian Shan.
