As a consequence, the Tongbai–Dabie Shan belt, the eastern part of the Qinling orogenic belt, may have undergone large-scale eastward extrusion, clockwise rotation, and uplift, as indicated by its boundary deformation features. It was originally located beneath the narrowest part of the Qinling belt, where it underwent ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism in the Early Triassic.
