Short summary
New seismic data across the Qilian Shan–Beishan transect image a 47.5–60 km, five-layer crust with strong lateral heterogeneity. North-dipping mantle fabrics and a fossil slab beneath the Hongliuhe–Xichangjing ophiolite record Paleozoic northward subduction of both Qilian and Beishan oceans. The Altyn Tagh Fault is traced east-northeast along the Beishan southern margin into the Alxa Block.
