Abstract:
The Eocene Kohat Formation formed in the Kohat basin of the Himalayan Fold and
Thrust Belt in Northern Pakistan for extensive bio-stratigraphic and
micropalaeontological examination , an outcrop of the Eocene Kohat Formation was
measured from the bannu road section , District Kohat northern Pakistan. According to
the variance in lithology a total of 16 samples were taken from the bottom to the top . A
total of 18 thin-sections were obtained from these samples. The thin sections study
revealed bio- stratigraphic detail , leading to the identification of three foraminiferal
genera: (Nummulites, Assilina, and Alveolina). Different diagenetic features, such as
micritization and recrystallization are also observed.
