The rocks that outcrop in the Kabul Basin range from Precambrian Proterozoic metamorphic rocks, mainly gneisses, which were progressively overlain by various Phanerozoic (Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic) sedimentary rocks, as well as a few igneous rocks (Wolfhart and Wittekindt, 1980;Bohanon and Turner, 2005;Lindsay at al., 2005;Maldonado and Turner, 2005). Essentially, the Kabul block can be thought of as a continental island mass that converged on southern Asia from the south as the PaleoTethyan sea closed up during the Cretaceous (Şengör et al, 1988;1996;Treloar and Izzatt, 1993;.…”
