- Lithology: Zanchi & Gritti (1996): the Guhjal dolomite forms the upper unit of the Guhjal Unit (defined by Gaetani et al. 1990) — a meta-sedimentary belt between the Karakorum Axial Batholith and the Upper Hunza Fault, north of the Sost Unit. The upper unit is calcareous-dolomitic marble of uncertain age; a low-grade metamorphic imprint occurs along NW-SE shear zones, and the unit is intruded by the KAB (andalusite-bearing contact metapelites near Gulkin) and by the Paleocene Kuk pluton. Corroborates the dolomitic/marble platform lithology.
-
- Geological significance: The Misgar Unit (slates of the Northern Karakorum sedimentary cover) records multistage structural evolution north of the Karakorum batholith in the Hunza region (Zanchi & Gritti 1996).
- Age: Zanchi & Gritti (1996) treat the Misgar Slates as the 'Misgar Unit' — slates of unknown age forming the northern boundary of the Northern Sedimentary Belt, thrust southward against the Sost Unit along a transpressive fault zone. Their 'unknown age' is a structural caution; the Late Precambrian-Cambrian assignment used here rests on the regional lithostratigraphic sources.
