A newly identified Chor Thrust demarcates the southern margin of the Proterozoic Chor granitoid massif within the Jutogh Group metamorphics of the Lesser Himalaya in Himachal Pradesh. Numerous shear criteria reveal a topto- SW overthrust-type Intense ductile strain along this margin and are consistent with the southward propagating nappes.

A newly identified Chor Thrust demarcates the southern margin of the Proterozoic Chor granitoid massif within the Jutogh Group metamorphics of the Lesser Himalaya in Himachal Pradesh. Numerous shear criteria reveal a topto- SW overthrust-type Intense ductile strain along this margin and are consistent with the southward propagating nappes.
