Abstract
The geodynamic settings of the evolution of Cenozoic basins in the North and Middle Tien Shan and their Paleozoic framework have been estimated from a kinematic analysis and detailed structural geological mapping of key sites. Two stages of their development in different geomechanical settings are distinguished. It is suggested that in the late Oligocene, Miocene, and early Pliocene, the pull-apart basins developed under the setting of simple left-lateral shear or transtension. Presumably in the late Pliocene and Quaternary, this setting gave way to right-lateral transpression; extension in the basins was changed by compression with the formation of local fold-thrust structural elements. The reconstruction of geomechanical sections was tested by analog tectonophysical simulation. The natural and experimental structural assemblies and patterns reveal satisfactory convergence.
