Abstract:
Dungan formation is 98 meter thick at Zinda Pir area, unconformably overlying on Pab Sandstone and conformably underlying by Ghazij shale. Dungan formation mainly consists of grey to brownish grey, dark grey to blackish limestone along with a few grey to green coloured sandy/silty/shady calcareous layers. The Formation contains Late Paleocene fauna in it`s lower half like Miscellanea miscella, Lockhartia haemei and in it`s upper half lower Eocene fauna like Alveolinids, Nummulites mammilatus, Nummulites atacicus, Discocyclina dispensa, Assilina laminose & Assilina spinosa. So Paleocene-Eocene boundary on the basis of these age diagnostic fauna lies within the Dungan formation at the thickness of 51 meters from its base.
