GEOLOGICAL AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF GULABGARH AREA, KASHMIR HIMALAYA WITH A BRIEF NOTE ON THE STUDY OF ASSOCIATED GRANITOIDS

The Gulabgarh region of Kashmir Himalaya presents an interesting area in providing the complete geological section from Salkhalas to Tertiar ies which are traversed by two tectonic planes viz., the Murree Thrust in the south and the Panjal Thrust in the north. An attempt has been made in this paper to present pragmatic classificatory models of grani tes after comparing the tectonic groups of the present area with the c lassic areas elsewhere in the world.
