The Permian of Pakistan has been well known, yet poorly understood. Pakistan represents one of the few places where the Permian of the Paleotethys (Northern Hemisphere) and the Permian of Gondwana both occur. This chapter will review the stratigraphy of Pakistan that represents the northern part of the Indian/Pakistan plate. The Permian of the Paleotethys is in many structural blocks to the north and east of the Kohistan island arc terrane (Fig. 1). Talent et al. (1981) summarize what is known of these barely accessable rocks. South of the Kohistan island arc terrane, in several thrust sheets, are Permian strata that were deposited along the northern part of Gondwana in a rift flank basin. Apparently, the southern margin (craton), basin, and northern margin (rift flank) are preserved in these thrust sheets. The detailed conodont biostratigraphy is important for developing a better understanding of the timing and correlation of these rocks to each other and to the parts of Asia that resided in the Northern Hemisphere in the Permian.
