The Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, located in the Hill Ranges of northern
Pakistan, contain rocks that are transitional between unmetarnorphosed foreland-basin
strata to the south and high-grade metamorphic and plutonic rocks to the north. The
southern Gandghar Range is composed of a succession of marine strata of probable

southwest Utah, and northwest Arizona. The rocks in the
region were complexly deformed during two distinct tectonic
episodes. Numerous interrelated events occurred within each
episode. The first tectonic...
