| Zusammenfassung |
| The timing of the collision of the Indian plate with the Asian plate to create the Himalayas is
broadly dated at 55-50 Ma (Davis et al., 2002; Abrajevitch et al., 2005; Ding et al., 2005;
Green et al., 2008; Dupont-Nivet et al., 2010; Henderson et al., 2010). However, the extent
and duration of deformation caused by the collision remote from the Himalayan mountain
belt remains poorly understood. In particular, the nature and extent of foreland uplift and the
initial Himalayan fore-bulge is poorly defined (Bera & Mandal, 2013), whilst the
extent of Himalayan compression in the greater Indian foreland remains completely
undocumented.
The Barmer Basin, Rajasthan, is a long (200 km), narrow ( |
