Abstract:
The central part of the Kohistan basic complex in the Swat district has been studied in detail petrographically and geochemically. The main rocks of the area amphibolites, noritic rocks, and quartz diorites do not appear to be directly related mutually or to the rocks of the Jijal complex (garnet granulites and alpine-type ultramafic rocks). Temperature and pressure estimates suggest that the various metamorphic rocks of the area were formed under different geothermal gradients. It is recommended that the noritic rocks be henceforth called pyroxene granulites.
