Data for: Geology, structure and lithostratigraphic framework of the Rakhine Coastal Ranges in western Myanmar: implications for the collision of the India Plate and West Myanmar Block

This study provides the syn and post deformation of Neogene siliciclastic sequences of Arakan Costal Ranges in Western Myanmar that allows structural and kinematic interpre-tation of oblique subduction and collision history. The growth of these folds and faults and associated uplifting which were resulted by tectonic evolution between Burma Plate was wedged in the subduction zone and dragged mechanically toward the north with the Indian Plate between internal N-S trending right-lateral shearing and external E-W shortening.
