Structural Map of Eastern Margin of Nanga Parbat Massif
This
eastern margin is formed by the MMT mylonites in steeply-dipping attitudes.
At lower elevations the dips tend to be vertical, but at higher elevations
the dips become steeply westward [55º or more] giving a balloon-shape
to the local cross-sectional contact geometry. The Churit Fault consists
of steeply-dipping brittle fault strands, with west side up displacement,
within the Indian cover sequence metapelites.
