The paleoelevation estimation during the extensional activity of the STDS across the Himalaya is rare (Gébelin et al., 2013 for Everest Himalaya). I am curious to know the paleoelevation during STDS activity across the Himalaya. I am working to establish the morphology or anatomy of the STDS fault zone, which in a particular western Himalayan section, is entirely located within the metapelites and micaceous quartzites. There is no synkinematic veining or any mesoscopic evidence of fluid flow within this fault zone here. In that case, what will be easiest method to estimate the paleoelevation during the STDS activity in that region?
