Abstract
A first magnetostratigraphic study was carried out in Neogene fluvial formations of the Rudgai (Sibi) basin in the Sulaiman Fold Belt. In order to date these units more precisely and to understand the tectonic implications for the formation of this basin, a total of 59 samples were analysed in the laboratory. The results show that a unique correlation is possible between the observed magnetic polarity stratigraphy and the magnetic polarity stratigraphy scale. This allows us to place the sequence between 16.5 and 14.8 Ma and to show that the molassic sediments are well diachronic between the Rudgai (Sibi) basin (16.5 Ma) the basins of the Potwar Plateau (10.1 Ma).
