Based on the distribution and contact relationships between ophiolite and different strata, two regional ductile shear zones (DFT and DFR) and their properties are confirmed. They are respectively southern and northern main faults limiting ophiolite. During the emplacement of Luobusha-Zedang ophiolite, DFT is identified to have gone through two stage tectonic movements, i.e. obduction from north to south at the initial emplacement stage and overturned thrust from south to north at the later reactive stage. DFT formed much earlier than DFR and they are not thought to be counter thrusts of MCT from Himalaya orogenic belt.
