未来的巴基斯坦地质公园——盐岭

The Future Geo-Park of Pakistan——the Salt Range

盐岭包括六个峡谷,具有出露充分的地质学和古生物学特征,并且交通便利。这些特点吸引了研究者对这个独特地区的地质时代测定方面的浓厚兴趣,开始对寒武纪三叶虫、二叠纪腕足类、三叠系下统菊石、下第三系大型有孔虫和上第三系及第四纪脊椎动物产生的古地理进行了研究调查。在地质学家眼中,这些盐岭峡谷充满着如此美妙的地质遗址,堪称为世界上独特的野外自然历史博物馆,同时也可能被建设为巴基斯坦的一个地质公园。

Salt Range comprises six gorges, well exposed geological, paleontological and easily accessible. These propensities make attraction for the researcher which is unique in the world regarding age diagnostic; Cambrian Trilobites,Permian Brachiopods,Lower Triassic Ammonites,Lower Tertiary Larger Foraminifera and Upper Tertiary and Quaternary Vertebrates generate paleogeographic. All these Salt Range gorges are full of such wonderful sites for geologists and are precisely called as a unique field museum of Natural History in the world and a possible Geo-Park of Pakistan.
