Tanawal Formation
Synonymy:
Wynne (1878) used the name ''Tanol group'' for the rocks of this formation. Middle miss (1896)
called them ''Tanol quartzite'' Marks and Ali (1 962) and Latif (1 970) named them ''Tanol
formation'' Calkins, Offield and Ali (1969) used the name Tanawal formation for this unit of
rocks.
Type locality:
The formation is well exposed in the north and south of Mansehra granite.
Lithology:
The formation consists of Quartoze schist, quartzite and schistose conglomerate. The south of
Mansehra granite the formation consists of medium grained quartzite and fine grained mica-
quartz schist. To the north of Mansehra granite the formation mainly consists of granite and
biotite muscovite-quartz schist. It is composed of low grade schist and fine grained mica quartz
schist. Alternate beds of schist and quartzite.kink fold and mullion structure are also observed.
Mansehra granite
Observed at Mansehra road. It is composed of two mica granite that are biotite and muscovite.
It also contain quartzite grains and feldspar. It depicts porphyritic texture. Also have doloritic
dyke intruded
Contacts:
The Tanawal Formation underlies the Abbotabad Formation upper contact with Abottabad
formation in this area is unconformable
Fossils:
Not found
Age: Cambrian.

Associated structure:
kink fold mullion structure Schistosity Secondary foliation are also observed.
Abbttabad Formation
Synonymy:
Waagen and Wynne (1 872) used the name ''below the trias'' for this unit of rocks. Middle miss
called it ''infra-trias'' Latif (1970) named this unit as ''Abbottabad group'' Calkin, offield and Ali
suggested the name ''Abbottabad formation''
Type locality:
Type locality of the formation is near Abbotabad town.
Lithology:
The formation mainly consists of dolomite, quartzite and phyllite, with many lithologic changes
from place to place.It is divided into five members.
a) Sirban dolomite
b) Mirpur member
c) Muhammadagali member
d) Sanghargali member
e) Tanaki boulder beds
Contacts:
Formation has an unconformable lower contact with Tanawal formation
Fossils:
Calkin (1969) examined the fauna of carboniferous to Permian age from the formation.
Recently 1kramuddin Ali and David examined the fossils of Hyolithes spp. from the formation
which has been reported from the Cambrian of North America, Sweden and Russia.
Age:
On the basis of Hyolithesspp the formation placed in lower Cambrian.

Murree Formation
Synonyms:
Mari Group by Wynne(1874),Murree Beds by Lydekker(1876)Murree Series by Pilgrim(1910)
,Murree Formation by Stratigraphic Committee of Pakistan
Type locality:
The name ''Murree formation'' has been formalized by the Stratigraphic committee of Pakistan
For the ''Mari group'' of Wynne (1974) and ''Murree beds'' of Lydekker (1876).
Lithology:
Greenish gray sandstone, shale and dark red clays.The formation consists of purple clay and
greenish grey sandstone with subordinate intraformational conglomerate. The basal strata of
the formation consist of light greenish, grey calcareous sandstone and conglomerate. The
formation uncomfortably overlies various formation of Eocene age. Its upper contact is
transitional with kumlial formation.
Contacts:
Its lower unconformable contact is with various formations of Eocene age while the Upper
contact is transitional with Kumlial Formation.
Fossils:
Formation is poorly fossiliferous.
Age:
The fauna indicates an Early Miocene age for the Formation.

Chrorite Mica Schist:
It is Low grade metamorphic rock containing chlorite index mineral, and also containing mica
and as well feldspar with minor mica. Schist also containing calsite and plagioclase veins.
Quartzite:
It is a non foliated metamorphic rock, that is formed by the metamorphism of sandstone. It
containing conjugate cross joint.

Type locality: The formation is well exposed in the north and south of Mansehra granite. Lithology: The formation consists of Quartoze schist, quartzite and schistose conglomerate. The south of Mansehra granite the formation consists of medium grained quartzite and fine grained mica- quartz schist. To the north of Mansehra granite the formation mainly consists of granite and biotite muscovite-quartz schist. It is composed of low grade schist and fine grained mica quartz schist.
