Field evidence for syn-deformation migmatization and crystallization along the Karakorum
fault contradicts the study of Wang et al.(2012). The ages of such magmatic rocks provide
minimum ages for the onset of deformation at∼ 23Ma in North Ayilari and∼ 19Ma in
Tangtse. The onset of deformation at 12Ma in the Ayilari range inferred by Wang et al.(2012)
from a muscovite Ar/Ar age is a cooling age, thus only a minimum age. The∼ 60Ma
granodiorite bodies, the ophiolitic rocks and the south Kailash thrust that are correlated …
