Foraminiferal Biostratigraphy of the Eocene Kirthar Formation, western Sulaiman Fold-Thrust Belt, Balochistan, Pakistan

Here, in this paper we aim to (a) document larger foraminifera of the Kirthar Formation in the study area, (b) establish biostratigraphic zonation, and (c) to compare our foraminiferal assemblages with the contemporaneous assemblages from other parts of the Tethys. 2. Rock samples were made into thin sections (2.5 x 5 cm) and the larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) were photographed with a digital camera C-35AD-2 attached to Olympus Microscope BH-2 in the Centre of Excellence in Mineralogy, University of Balochistan, Quetta.
