Redetermination of the Meso-Cenozoic structural framework of Dalian area

Eastern China is situated on the southeastern margin of the Eurasian continental plate , which went through a long and unique tectonic evolution. From an analysis of superposition structure, a detailed subdivision of the Meso Cenozoic ductile brittle deformation episodes and mechanism in the Dalian area is made and the structural framework is redetermined for this period. In addition, a discussion on the regional dynamics is held.
