Shan–Thai Terrane

The Shan–Thai Terrane rifted from Australia in the Permian and collided with the Indochina terrane in the Triassic.[1] It extends from Malaysia, through peninsular Thailand, Myanmar, West Yunnan, to Lhasa.[2]

During the Middle Triassic Shan–Thai sutured nearly simultaneously to Indochina and to South China, the continent–continent collision being a part of the Indosinian Orogeny and Indochina tended to underthrust Shan–Thai."
