{ "DOI": "10.1007/s13146-020-00639-9", "abstract": "The Fort Munro Formation is 200-m-thick mixed carbonate-siliciclastic succession of Late Cretaceous (Campanian) age exposed at the Rakhi Nala Section, Sulaiman Range, Lower Indus Basin, Pakistan. The Fort Munro Formation is representing thin- to thick-bedded limestone with interbedded marls, shale and sandstone. Detailed microfacies analysis revealed the recognition of 15 microfacies types (11 carbonate and 4 sandstone). These facies were deposited on both inner and middle ramp platform. The inner ramp sediments are more widespread than the corresponding middle ramp including open-marine, skeletal shoals, semi-restricted, carbonate sand shoals and banks and lagoon depositional environments. The uppermost part of the Fort Munro Formation has received sufficient amount of siliciclasts, thereby producing a sandstone texture. These siliciclasts indicate the tectonic uplift, which thereby increases the source area rejuvenation. Therefore, a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic, moderately storm-dominated homoclinal ramp depositional environment is suggested for the Fort Munro Formation.", "author": [ { "family": "Rizwan", "given": " Muhammad" }, { "family": "Hanif", "given": " Muhammad" }, { "family": "Ali", "given": " Nowrad" }, { "family": "Rehman", "given": " Maqsood Ur" } ], "container_title": "CARBONATES AND EVAPORITES", "id": "110202", "issue": "4", "issued": { "date-parts": [ [ 2020, 1, 1 ] ] }, "title": "Microfacies analysis and depositional environments of the Upper Cretaceous Fort Munro Formation in the Rakhi Nala Section, Sulaiman range, Pakistan", "type": "article-journal", "volume": "35" }
