1. View to N of right bank of Diamir Valley showing >2 km high valley wall made up of Jalhari Granite, which is deformed by W-vergent, reverse sense Airl-Gah/Diamir Shear Zone. Co- to sub-magmatic deformation styles, and Th-Pb ion microprobe (probable cystallisation) ages of 3-9 Ma indicate synkinematic nature of plutonism. Note much ductile strain is localised into gneissic layers (10's-100's metres) that anastamose around lenses of lesser- & un-deformed granite.
