Abstract

The Late Proterozoic to Early Cambrian sedimentary formations of the Purana spectrum occur in three lithotectonic zones of the Himalaya province (Fig. 11.1). The windows and half windows carved by rivers in the thrust sheets of epimetamorphic and mesometamorphic rocks expose Proterozoic sedimentary succession. The larger part of this succession belongs to the Upper Mesoproterozoic–Neoproterozoic period, extending up to the Early Cambrian. In the central sector of the Himalaya province, the outer Lesser Himalayan part was uprooted and thrust 4–23 km southward during the Tertiary revolution, forming parautochthonous Krol Belt. This belt is made up of preponderant Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian rocks. The third zone encompasses the transition from the Great Himalaya to the Tethys subprovince and embodies rocks of the Neoproterozoic and Early Cambrian times.
