Abstract
The westernmost part of the Karakorum belt and its prosecution along E ast Hindu Kush includes: 1) the southern portion of the Tash Kupruk Un it. 2) the Shah Jinali Phyllites; 3) the Rich Gol Metamorphic Complex (RGMC), a narrow belt of high-grade metabasites with serpentinites and metapelites, which forms a narrow strip along the Tirich Mir Fault, s eparating the Atark Unit (Hindu Kush?) from Karakorum metasediments. T he RGMC may represent the easternmost part of similar complexes descri bed around the Tirich Mir and may be linked to the boundary between Ka rakorum and East Hindu Kush.
