About 25 degree rotation is the
maximum rotation that can occur
without requiring the presence of
large (and unknown) strike
slip faults to accommodate the
differential rotation of Borneo as
associated rift basins with respect
to other parts of Sundaland.

CONCLUSION

The Region shear zone was mainly occurred in the Oligocene -


Iocene in order to link with the extension in the South China
Sea
At least 3 important regions of metamorphic core complex
development af fected Indochina from the Oligocene -Miocene
(Mogok gneiss belt ; Doi Inthanon & Doi Suthep; around
Shear Zone) explain some late Oligocene - Early Miocene
uplift along the Mae Ping & strike -slip fault zones.
Subduction of a Proto-South China Sea oceanic crust must be
built to explain the geological evolution of W -NW verging
Cretaceous accretionary prism complexes of NW Borneo &
evidence for SE dipping subducted slab
The Eocene-Oligocene collision of NE India with Burma
resulted in activation of the Three Pagodas
Sagaing Fault zone was active as a dextral strike -slip fault
system from the Late Miocene -Recent ( linked with opening of
Andaman Sea).
The link of the strike-slip fault to the NW -Borneo margin occur
only via the trend of the sinistral ASRR fault system which
passes along strike to Baram Line. The Mae Ping & Three
Pagodas Fault do not link to NW Borneo.
This model explains variation in the stress field that in
Thailand that causes episodes of inversion to alternate with
extension during the Late Oligocene - Pliocene.
