The Study of the Joint Patterns and the ohter Structures of the Manki Slate and the Attock Shale
Abstract
On the basis ofa comparative study of the structures, especially the joint patterns ofthe Manki Slate and the Attock Shale, the two distinct argillaceous units of the Attock Group, it has been established that there was, most probably, a considerable lapse of time between their deposition. The Manki Slate, as a result of a powerful compression front the north, was later pushed over the Attock Shale along a thrust striking E-W.
