Mesozoic intracontinental orogeny and deformation were widespread within the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). Chronological constraints remain unclear when assessing the Mesozoic evolution of the central segment of this region. The tectonic belt of Shalazha Mountain located in the center of this region is an ideal place to decode the deformation process. Apatite fission-track (AFT) thermochronology in Shalazha Mountain is applied to constrain the Mesozoic tectonothermal evolution of the central segment of southern CAOB. The bedrock AFT ages range from 161.8 ± 6.9 to 137.0 ± 7.3 Ma, and the first reported detrital AFT obtained from Lower Cretaceous strata shows three age peaks: P1 (ca. 178 Ma), P2 (ca. 149 Ma) and P3 (ca. 105.6 Ma). Bedrock thermal history modeling indicates that Shalazha Mountain have experienced three stages of differential cooling: Late Triassic–Early Jurassic (~230–174 Ma), Late Jurassic–Earliest Cretaceous (~174–135 Ma) and later (~135 Ma). The first two cooling stages are well preserved by the detrital AFT thermochronological result (P1, P2) from the adjacent Lower Cretaceous strata, while P3 (ca. 105.6 Ma) records coeval volcanic activity. Furthermore, our data uncover that hanging wall samples cooled faster between the Late Triassic and the Early Cretaceous than those from the footwall of Shalazha thrust fault, which synchronizes with the cooling of the Shalazha Mountain and implies significant two-stage thrust fault activation between ca. 230 and 135 Ma. These new low-temperature thermochronological results from the Shalazha Mountain region and nearby reveal three main phases of differential tectonothermal events representing the Mesozoic reactivation of the central segment of the southern CAOB. In our interpretations, the initial rapid uplift in the Late Triassic was possibly associated with intracontinental orogenesis of the CAOB. Subsequent Middle Jurassic–Earliest Cretaceous cooling is highly consistent with the Mesozoic intense intraplate compression that occurred in the southern CAOB, and is interpreted as a record of closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean. Then widespread Cretaceous denudation and burial in the adjacent fault basin could be linked with the oblique subduction of the Izanagi Plate along the eastern Eurasian Plate, creating a northeast-trending normal fault and synchronous extension. However, our AFT thermochronometry detects no intense Cenozoic reactivation information of Shalazha Mountain region.
