Abstract:
The Kohat plateau is located at the north-western apex of the southern deformed fold
and thrust belt that runs through India and Pakistan's Himalayan foothills. The structural
geometry inside the outcrops is defined by an east-west trending and south verging
Panoba Anticlinorium, as a result of detailed mapping and cross section of the Panoba
ranges, Kohat Plateau, and thorough critical review of previously published data. The
core of Panoba Anticline is cut by a high angle reverse fault known as the Panoba Fault.
The Panoba fault reveals the repetition of the Panoba and Shekhan formations. Oil
seepages and contents of sulphur (through smell) in Kuldanna formation were observed.
