Sedimentology and petrology of Miocene-Pliocene molasse (Murree/Siwalik-equivalent) in Sudhnoti and Poonch, AJK; supports the Murree, Nagri and Dhok Pathan units in the Kashmir sub-Himalaya.

• Cenozoic Dhok Pathan Formation Neogene
  • Lithology: Yasin et al. (2017), Sudhnoti–Poonch (Azad Kashmir): the Dhok Pathan Formation shows the typical alternation of sandstone and clay (about 50:50 sandstone:clay in the Kashmir Basin) — loose, friable, thick-bedded, calcareous dark-grey to black sandstone with brown to reddish-brown clays and conglomerate lenses that increase towards the top; its medium- to coarse-grained sandstone carries clasts of gneiss, schist, quartzite, granite, carbonate and marble.
  • lithologyType: Yasin et al. (2017): modal analysis of the area's Miocene–Pliocene Siwalik sandstones gives quartz 23–45%, feldspar 3–13% and lithic fragments (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary), classifying them as lithic arenite and lithic greywacke; pebble imbrication, planar bedding and ripple marks record palaeoflow from north to south, and calcrete concretions indicate a warm, semi-arid climate.
• Cenozoic Murree Formation Neogene
  • Lithology: Yasin et al. (2017), Sudhnoti–Poonch (Azad Kashmir, eastern limb of the Hazara–Kashmir Syntaxis): the Murree Formation is a fluvial succession of sandstone, mudstone, claystone and conglomerate — medium- to coarse-grained, thick-bedded dark-grey to weathered-black sandstone carrying wood fossils (Maidan area), with thinly-bedded calcareous shale, red-to-maroon clays, and conglomerate clasts of quartzite plus shale rip-ups; locally it has a faulted contact with the overlying Nagri Formation.
• Cenozoic Nagri Formation Neogene
  • Lithology: Yasin et al. (2017), Sudhnoti–Poonch (Azad Kashmir): the Nagri Formation is light-grey sandstone with shale, clay and scanty conglomerate showing planar bedding and ripple marks; the sandstone is coarse-grained, salt-and-pepper and calcite-cemented at Thorar and micaceous, thick-bedded to massive at Dar, with carbonate (calcrete) concretions in the shale, and carries clasts of volcanics, quartzite, schist and chert.
