Delineation and correlation of Dragon Spring Shear Zone with its deep-level structures at foreland have been studied by field work.This paper reports our new findings of thrust-fold structures within Taihang Neoarchean basement,which include flat thrusts,large-scale recumbent folds,subhorizontal foliation patterns,etc.It reveals that early tectonic evolution of North China clearly involves the horizontal contraction on a large scale,comparable to those of foreland of classical collisional orogenic belts.The vertical variation of struc-tural patterns with foreland fold-thrust belt from shallow to deep levels has been documented for Taihang Mt.by structural correlation,which is associated with tectonic transposition and imbrication of basement complex with supracrustal sequences in the Neoarchean.
