Faunal Indication of Assembling and Accretion of Terranes in Myanmar

This present paper is a part of a book on terranes of Myanmar which was published in Myanmar, 2013. The name is Tectonic Style and Deformation Pattern of Terranes in Myanmar. It is based on Tectonostratigraphic Terranes Analysis. There are six sections with relevant figures, maps and tables. Among the contents, the reconstruction of the tectonic terranes of Myanmar territory is the most important tectonic history to be completed in every aspect of sedimentary basin, igneous rock, volcanic occurrences, tectonic events, fossil evidences and economic occurrences. The presentations of this paper were presented at different international conferences for three years: 2008, 2017, and 2018 whenever there is new investigation and new data. The present paper is newly added fossil evidence for reconstruction of tectonic terranes in Myanmar territory. The work of reconstructing the paleogeography of terranes was conducted by using known distribution of Mesozoic representatives of Monotis, Halobia, and Daonella faunas in Myanmar. Distribution of these faunas in Triassic marine strata of Shan Massif and correlation with those of neighboring terranes of Asia gave the evidences that Shan Massif was a part of Gondwana in Carboneferous-Permian time.
