Records of the Geological Survey of India August 1877

One of the local changes within the tertiary zone which may be analogOus to the lateral variation affecting the whole formation as it passes westward is the almost total Comm of the very lowest beds of the sandstone Series (as developed to the north) along the southern or Salt Range side of the trough. [...] Tbat feature and the Aisturbed condition of the ground prevent the sequence from being seen but towardsothe same side of the trough in the Shake Mint ridge I have found a section leas place called Chorgali clearly showing the whole of the local upper group resting conformably upon the more massive and clearer limestone of the alder part of the series (see p. 118). [...] The most distinct demarcations between the different groups occur :—at the top of the Salt Range ntuilmulitio limestone where in contact with the Murree beds ; and between the upper sand lower nummulitics by reason of dislocation at the northern side of the trough. [...] iThere the linilIstones are thick pale and fossiliferous the resemblance is strongest; and junctions between the limestone and overlying sandstones though often kaiak resembling the sharpness and defiftien of the same in the Salt Range have here and there more similarity to the transitional nature of the newest beds of the whole nwnmOlitio formation. [...] Bones occur immediately over and partly in th% upper surface of the nummulitic limestone at a pass on the road to Xohiefrom Kuslffilgarh near Gfirgarlet mountain ; again in the lowest sandstones at the northern end of the Chiehali pass in the Shin Garh mountains ; occasionally in the neighbourhood of Fatabjang and rarely eat the foot of the Murree hills.
