| We propose that these sediments were deposited in a forearc or back-arc basin of the Oytag arc. |
|
| What remains unclear is whether the rocks formed in an open ocean or a marginal back-arc basin associated with a subduction zone. |
|
| Deformation is complex, with normal faulting and strike-slip faulting in the geomorphological back-arc basin. |
|
| The Kinik rocks have characteristics of ophiolites formed in oceanic or back-arc basins rather than island-arc settings based on a number of observations. |
|
| We believe that many Mesozoic and Cenozoic obducted ophiolite belts of SE Asia are fragments of fore-arc or back-arc lithosphere. |
|
| Are they produced in large ocean basins at mid-ocean ridges or in more confined settings like forearcs, arcs or back-arc basins close to continental margins? |
