NEW. USGS Open-File Report 93-256 on the Paleocene coal-bearing Bara Formation at Fort Ranikot, Lakhi Range, Sindh - the only locality in Pakistan where the complete Bara section is exposed. States the complete measured section is 486 m thick (elsewhere the formation exceeds 1000 m in the subsurface; coal exploration limited to its upper 250 m). Used for Bara Formation thickness. Verified via USGS publication metadata and search-indexed report text; pubs.usgs.gov returns bot-403 to direct WebFetch.
