Reference section:
Lithology and Thickness
It includes four suites that have consistent contacts with each other. They are Buruliuk Fm, Sarylshilin Fm, Beleutin Fm, Sassyk Fm.
Four rock suites—in total >4.5 km thick—define the crystalline rocks of the Muskol and Shatput domes (Rutte et al., 2017)
Lithology Pattern:
Gneiss
Relationships and Distribution
Lower contact
The schematic strat column indicates the lower formation as Buruliuk Fm
Upper contact
The schematic strat column indicates this is the uppermost gr.
Regional extent
It is widespread in the Central Pamir.
