The fold is highlighted with a white line; view is to the northeast. (C) View to the north of
possible strained cross-bedding within Fagfog Formation quartzite. Possible cross beds are
highlighted by white lines. (D) View to the north of isoclinal folding within the Kunchha
Formation. The fold is outlined by a white line.

Cross-section through the southern Dhaulagiri Himalaya near the Kali Gandaki river. (A)
Location of section shown within outline of map-area. Note that two different lines are drawn
after point B, one roughly along the river (B-D-E) and the other along the Thulo Bugin ridge (B-
C). (B) Structural cross-section through the study area. The sample locations of specimens used
for quartz petrofabric analyses are shown in both A and B. Open circles indicate specimens that
did not yield an organized quartz c-axis pattern. LHS, Lesser Himalayan sequence; MCT, Main
Central thrust; STDS, South Tibetan detachment system.

Quartz c-axis fabrics measured in quartz-rich specimens from the Greater Himalayan sequence.
Sample locations are shown in Figure 7. The fabric data are shown on equal area lower
hemisphere stereographic projects; plane of projection is perpendicular to foliation and parallel
to lineation. Shear sense is indicated by the half-arrows. The quartz c-axis fabrics are contoured
at 0.5, 1, 2…% intervals using version 6.3.3 of Stereonet developed by R.D. Allmendinger.
