Map

Geological map

A marker for every one of Pakistan’s 173 georeferenced formation type localities (coloured by era), plus the 27 geosites of the geoheritage inventory and the geological provinces. Tap a marker for details; use the controls to filter by age and rock type or toggle layers. The full basin index is below and always works.

Type-locality points mark the named place, not a surveyed section — treat them as accurate to the order of a kilometre, for regional screening only. Heavy dashed lines are the major plate boundaries (Bird 2003, PB2002 model); internal sutures and fold-belt outlines are not drawn.
