Geology of the Palaeozoic Sequence of the Kashmir Tethys Himalayan Basin in the Udder Valley, Jammu and Kashmir
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The Lidder Valley in Kashmir displays an excellent section of the Palaeozoic sequence of the Tethys Himalayan basin. The sequence earlier classified by Middlemiss (1910), however offers scope for revision in respect of lithostratigraphy and nomenclature. A new classification, adopting several new names, has been presented. The sequence is divided into Hapatnar Group, Chorgali Group, Lidder Group, Panjal Volcanic Group, Zewan and the Sonamarg Group in the ascending order. The paper discusses the details of lithostratigraphy, the need for new nomenclature, and the sedimentation and structure of the Tethys sequence in the Lidder Valley.
