Abstract

The northwest-southeast fault zones of Vietnam, the Yunnan-Malaya geosyncline, and the Pak Lay-Luang Prabang and Petchabun fold belts have stratigraphicand tectonic implications for a regional synthesis. The northwest-southeast trends of Vietnam existed as early as Carboniferous time and may represent a fundamental feature of the Earth's crust predating the collision between Indo-Sinia and the Southeast China Platform. Paleozoic stratigraphic successions in the Yunnan-Malaya geosyncline and comparable sequences in Laos and central and northeast Vietnam are remarkably similar. The principal tectonic characteristics and features of the region may already have been established in early Paleozoic time and may have affected the geology and topography of southeast Asia into Tertiary time. The north-south Yunnan-Malaysia geosyncline and the Pak Lay-Luang Prabang foldbelt may reflect the fundamental structure of the old basement, distinct from the northwest-southeast trends.
