Nomenclatural critique rejecting the "Abbottabad Group" (name preoccupied by the Abbottabad Formation of Marks & Muhammad Ali, 1962). Argues the Hazira and Hematite formations are lateral facies of one unit conformably above the Abbottabad Formation cherty dolomites, and proposes the Kihal Formation (type near Kihal, Abbottabad) with a Hazira Member (~192 ft siltstones) and a Shekhan Bandi Member (~268 ft red quartzitic limestones, quartzite breccias and hematitic sandstone), capped by white quartz sandstone below fossiliferous Jurassic limestone.

Units citing this source

• Paleozoic Abbottabad Formation Cambrian
  • Synonyms: Butt (1968) rejected the proposed "Abbottabad Group" (the name being preoccupied by the Abbottabad Formation of Marks & Muhammad Ali, 1962) and treated the overlying Hazira and Hematite formations as lateral facies of a single unit — proposed as the Kihal Formation — conformably above the cherty dolomites of the Abbottabad Formation.
• Paleozoic Hazira Formation Cambrian
  • Lithology: Butt (1968) grouped the Hazira Formation with the Hematite Formation as lateral facies of a single unit (proposed Kihal Formation, type near Kihal, Abbottabad): a Hazira Member (~192 ft of buff/brown siltstones with two calcareous bands and basal glauconitic layers) and a Shekhan Bandi Member (~268 ft of red quartzitic limestones, repetitive quartzite breccias, sandstones and a massive hematitic sandstone), capped by a persistent white quartz sandstone directly below fossiliferous Jurassic marine limestone.
