Fig. 1

Location of the Lijiang-Xiaojinhe fault, southeastern Tibet. The red dots denote earthquakes, and the size of red dots denotes magnitude. The sample site is indicated by a black star.

Fig. 2

Global (1) and detailed (2) views of the sampling area. Picture (3) is the photo of carbonates sample with indication of the sampling point (red square) on picture (1). Area A: milky white and be melted again thoroughly; area B: yellow-white and be partially melted; area C: grey-green and has not the characteristic of being melted.
