GSP field abstract. Khanozai-Torkhula (Muslim Bagh) ophiolite chromite; Tungi-Ahmadun syncline (Urak Fm, Pliocene: Uzdapasha/Shinmati/Urak-conglomerate members); Pishin flysch (Nisai Eocene, Murgha Faqirzai Oligocene, Shaigalu Miocene); Allozai (Triassic), Loralai (Jurassic), Sember/Bibai/Parh (Cretaceous), Dungan (Paleocene).

Units citing this source

• Mesozoic Alozai Group Jurassic
  Synonyms
  • Age: Usage varies in the Zhob–Pishin area: the GSP Karezat abstract (Waliullah et al.) applies the name at formation rank — 'Allozai Formation', a Triassic limestone/shale locally intruded by ophiolitic ultramafics (Khanozai–Torkhula segment) — implying the group may extend into the Triassic, whereas the curated record (after USGS OFR 94-689; Kazmi & Jan 1997) treats the Alozai Group as Lower–Middle Jurassic (Spingwar + Loralai formations). Recorded as an alternative; the curated Jurassic scope is retained.
• Cenozoic Khojak Formation Paleogene

  Listed as a corroborating source for this unit.

• Mesozoic Muslim Bagh Ophiolite Cretaceous
  • Geological significance: Yaseen et al. (2019) and Waliullah et al. (GSP): the Muslim Bagh–Zhob ophiolite forms the base of the Pishin–Katawaz sedimentary succession — a Neo-Tethyan remnant obducted onto the western passive margin of the Indian plate in the Late Cretaceous, unconformably overlain by the Eocene Nisai Formation. Its podiform chromite is actively mined around Khanozai and Muslim Bagh (Karezat quadrangle), where it makes up roughly a third of the Khanozai–Torkhula ophiolite segment.
• Cenozoic Nisai Limestone Paleogene

  Listed as a corroborating source for this unit.

• Cenozoic Shaigalu Member Paleogene–Neogene

  Listed as a corroborating source for this unit.

• Cenozoic Urak Formation Neogene
  AgeLithology
  • Member units: Waliullah et al. (GSP): three members — Uzdapasha, Shinmati and Urak Conglomerate — exposed in the Tungi Syncline (Karezat quadrangle); in thrust contact with the Allozai (Triassic) to the north and Parh/Bibai (Cretaceous) to the south, and with the Loralai, Sembar, Bibai and Dungan formations to the east.
