Over 3,400 m of Neogene fluvial section NE of Daud Khel (Trans-Indus, Mianwali District): a thin Murree(?) Formation (unconformable on weathered Eocene) beneath the Siwalik Group - Kamlial (648 m; distinctive dull-greenish-gray sandstone, possibly the thickest Kamlial exposed anywhere), Chinji (881 m; moderate-red mudstone with pellet-rock beds), Nagri (1025 m; thick cross-bedded greenish sandstone with igneous pebbles), and Dhok Pathan (778 m, top absent). Units defined lithologically; fauna reported separately (Hussain et al. 1979; 1977). Kamlial placed in the Siwalik Group (not the Rawalpindi Group of Fatmi 1974).

This page is the reverse of each unit's per-field citations — it shows exactly what this reference supports, making the dataset's “no source, no fact” rule browsable both ways.

Units citing this source

• Cenozoic Chinji Formation Neogene
  • Lithology: Munthe et al. (1979): at Daud Khel the Chinji Formation is 881 m thick and 73% mudstone - moderate-red (not 'brick-red') silty mudstone with subordinate pale-yellowish-brown cross-bedded very-fine sandstone in fining-upward fluvial cycles, and hematitic fossiliferous 'pellet-rock' beds (fossil locality H-GSP 18). It is the most readily identified Siwalik unit here and closely matches its stratotype.
• Cenozoic Dhok Pathan Formation Neogene
  • Lithology: Munthe et al. (1979): at Daud Khel the Dhok Pathan Formation is 778 m thick (top not present) and ~58% sandstone that becomes lighter-coloured and less indurated upward with upward-increasing pebble/cobble conglomerate, plus yellowish-orange claystone and siltstone; the red-to-orange mudstone colour change marks its base. It is laterally continuous with the Gaud Nala reference section of Fatmi (1974); the authors decline to subdivide it into members.
• Cenozoic Kamlial Formation Neogene
  • Lithology: Munthe et al. (1979): at Daud Khel the Kamlial Formation is 648 m thick and 83% sandstone - distinctive dull-greenish-gray, very-fine to fine, moderately-to-well-sorted sandstone ('gray schist arenite') with interbedded clay-pebble pseudoconglomerate and grayish-red-purple siltstone. It is far sandier than its Khaur-Dome stratotype (~20% sandstone) and possibly the thickest Kamlial section exposed anywhere; the authors retain it in the Siwalik Group (not the Rawalpindi Group of Fatmi 1974).
• Cenozoic Murree Formation Neogene
  • Geological significance: Munthe et al. (1979), Daud Khel (Trans-Indus, Mianwali District): a thin (~80 m) 'Murree(?)' unit - about 30% well-indurated conglomerate (small pebbles of reworked Tertiary sediment, with reworked Eocene foraminifera) and 70% dusky-red gypsum-veined claystone - rests with marked angular unconformity on subaerially weathered Eocene and is overlain (a possible paraconformity) by the Kamlial Formation. Tentatively lower Murree, but differing markedly in thickness and lithology from typical Potwar Murree.
• Cenozoic Nagri Formation Neogene
  • Lithology: Munthe et al. (1979): at Daud Khel the Nagri Formation is 1,025 m thick and 56% sandstone - thick, intensively cross-bedded greenish-gray sandstone (cliff-forming in the lower part, coarser than the Chinji), with well-rounded igneous pebbles common in the upper third, and dull-red siltstone. It is harder to separate from the overlying Dhok Pathan than in the central Potwar because it lacks the typical multistoried sandstone bodies.
