Carboniferous–Permian in the time scale →Stratigraphic position
Band colour = period; texture = dominant rock type. Lines between bands mark the contact type (wavy = unconformity inferred from a missing period). True scale makes height ∝ recorded thickness; hatched = thickness not recorded. Ages approximate, for ordering.
This unit (highlighted) within its province column; faded ends continue above and below. Line style marks the contact type.
The Carboniferous–Permian Panjal Group — the Chushal and Panjal formations — of the Hazara-Kashmir Syntaxis.
Panjal Group is being named by Chaudhry et al. (1986) after the Panjal. This group consists of thick sequence of Chushal and Panjal formations.
Significance. A group of the Hazara-Kashmir Syntaxis comprising the Chushal Formation (Late Carboniferous agglomeratic slate) and the Panjal Formation (Carboniferous–Permian volcanics), representing the late-Paleozoic volcanic-and-slate succession of the region.
