Abstract

SummaryWithin the Tethyan Zone of Central West Nepal, the Nilgiri Limestone is the dominant unit. The significance of the separation of the Larjung Formation is questioned in the light of new outcrops examined, and the Nilgiri Sandstone is described. Recumbent fold structures are correlated between Annapurna, Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri. Between these mountains the Thakkhola graben faults are continued southwards, and estimates are made of the magnitude of their throws.
