Abstract: Tue Red River (RRF) and Dien Bien Phu (DBP) faults are very important strike-slip faults in SE Asia. The RRF marks the boundary between the South China and Indochina blocks which was shaped in two phases: during sinistra! ductile shear active in 27-16 Ma, followed by exhumation and uplift from a depth of 20-25 km, and as dextral, predominantly brittle shear active in Plio-Quatemary times. The amount of post-Miocene dextral offset has been variously reconstructed at 20 to 57 km, whereas the size of individua! offset of Quatemary valleys has been calculated as 9 m to nearly 2 km. [...]
