In Jurassic, the TanLu fault was a reverse one. The strike-slip in Cretaceous was more than 100km, and that in Eogene was nuclear. In the Neogene-Early Pleistocene, about 50km of sinistral displacement occurred along the Tan-Lu fault zone.

• 侏罗纪时期郯庐断裂带为逆断层，白垩纪时期的走滑活动量不大于100km，早第三纪的走滑断距不明显，晚第三纪一早更新世可能有50km左右的左行走滑断距，新构造期（0.；73Ma以来）的有行走滑断距小于100m。
