Abstract:
Evidence has been presented to show that, contrary to the earlier belief, the Kirthar limestone is not wholly of Middle Eocene age but ranges up into the Oligocene. The Colombo Plan Survey has designated the Middle Eocene part of the Kirthar limestone as Kirthar Member and the Oligocene part as the Gorag Member. The two members are apparently conformable, but detailed faunal investigation has shown that there is a time-hiatus between the two as the faunas representing the greater part of the Auversian and the entire Bartonian Stages of Europe are missing.
