Abstract The Miocene Chinji and Nagri Formations (Siwalik Group) of northern Pakistan
record ancient fluvial environments in the Himalayan foredeep basin. Excellent exposures
on the Potwar Plateau (Chinji Village area) allowed detailed documentation of the geometry
and stacking of sediment bodies that comprise these strata, and of variation of large-scale
bedding geometry, grainsize, sedimentary structures and paleocurrent orientations within
such bodies. Major sandstone bodies are tens of meters thick and are continuous along …
