Sections of the Wargal Limestone, Western Salt Range, Pakistan
Abstract
Four sections of the Wargal Limestone were measured, described, and sampled in detail. Numerous small faults are present normal to the dip and along bedding planes. Thickness of the formation ranges from 174 m at Zuluch Nala to 130 m at Chatuwnla Nala. Colonial coral zones are present near the base of the formation and at the top of the formation.
