Abstract: Present study deals with microfacies analysis, interpretation of depositional environment and foraminiferal biostratigraphy of Early Eocene Chorgali Formation in Yadgar section, Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. Study area lies on apex of western limb of the Hazara-Kashmir Syntaxis, which is the part of North-West Himalayan Fold and Thrust Belt. The stratigraphic succession of the area is consisted of sedimentary sequences, ranging in age from Precambrian to Miocene excluding Ordovician to Cretaceous and Oligocene successions, those are marked by unconformity. Early Eocene Chorgali formation in this area is consisted of dark to reddish grey limestone, light grey dolomite, greenish grey shale intercalations, marl and argillaceous limestone. Nodulations is also present in few limestone beds. Formation was measured and described in the field.
