- Age: Fuchs (1970): the Abbottabad Group (Middlemiss's 1896 'Infra Trias') closely resembles the Nagthat–Blaini–Krol (Shali) succession of the Lower Himalayas, which Fuchs regarded as its equivalent; on that correlation he favoured an Upper Palaeozoic age for the group, while stressing that the age of these successions remained disputed. The break between the underlying Hazara Group and the Abbottabad Group corresponds to Palaeozoic unconformities of Kashmir and the Salt Range.
- Geological significance: Fuchs (1970): the Tanakki Boulder Bed at the base of the Abbottabad Group — earlier argued by Marks & Muhamad Ali (1961) not to be a tillite — yielded striated and faceted boulders on a joint Latif–Fuchs excursion, which Fuchs took as confirming a glacial origin.
-
- Geological significance: Fuchs (1970): the Hazara Group (former 'Hazara Slates') is a thick slate complex of geosynclinal character that Fuchs correlated with the Dogra Slates and Simla Slates of the Lower Himalayas; through the Palaeozoic, Hazara sedimentation was closely tied to the Lower Himalayan basin.

- Age: Fuchs (1970): Fuchs distinguished the flysch-like Hazira Formation from the orthoquartzite–carbonate association of the underlying Abbottabad Group and, with Latif, suggested the Galdanian and Hazira formations might form a separate Tarnawai Group; comparing the Hazira shales to the Upper Triassic (Norian) Kuti and Tarap Shales of the Tibetan Zone, and noting the formation occurs only in northern Hazara, he raised the possibility of an Upper Triassic age reached by an early northern transgression.
