SHAH FASIAL is an academic who published a paper in 2015 entitled Tectonometamorphic evolution of the Hindu Kush, North West Pakistan. SHAH FASIAL published this work as part of a team: Fasial, Shah. Here is a description of this work: New U-(Th)/Pb geochronology, geochemical analyses of plutonic bodies and thermochronologic constraints from the Hindu Kush range, NW Pakistan, provide insight on the crustal growth and tectonic evolution of the southern Eurasian margin and Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet orogen. Monazite and zircon data record a protracted deformational, metamorphic, and magmatic history that spans the Cambrian to the Neogene. The Cambrian-Ordovician Kafiristan pluton yields geochemical signatures consistent with extensional plutonism and rifting of the Hindu Kush and Karakoram terranes, which now comprise the field area, away from Gondwana. The Hindu Kush accreted to the southern Eurasian margin during the Late Triassic followed closely by the Karakoram terrane in the Early Jurassic. An Andean-style subduction margin was established at the southern Eurasian boundary in the Cretaceous,.
