• ... that the Lesser Himalayan Strata lies between the Main Boundary Thrust and the Main Central Thrust? Source: find this in Upreti, B. N. (1999). An overview of the stratigraphy and tectonics of the Nepal Himalaya "The Lesser Himalayan Zone lies between the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) in the south and the Main Central Thrust (MCT) in the north"

• New enough, long enough, QPQ done, no copyvio or other policy problems found. The hook fact is not directly cited inline as required by rule 3b, but in any case it is a bit dull (rule 3a), can't we find something more interesting? SpinningSpark 19:16, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

• I have added a reference to the end of the hook in the article, and included quoted text from the reference. But since it is not exciting enough how about these:

• ALT1 that sediments in the Lesser Himalayan Strata were interrupted by the Great Lesser Himalayan Unconformity, which lasted from the Early Cambrian to Permian times?from the B.N Upreti reference in figure 6 or table 2 and also "The two groups are separated by a major unconformity contemporary with Late Panafrican diastrophism. This unconformity may be called the Great Lesser Himalayan Unconformity"
• ALT2 that rocks from the Lesser Himalayan Strata show that the northern part of the Indian plate submerged in the late Cretaceous period? from the GAETANI, M. & GARZANTI, E ref which can be viewed at the URL https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Eduardo_Garzanti/publication/284611220_Stratigraphy_of_the_Tethys_Himalaya_in_Zanskar_Ladakh/links/56581c6b08ae4988a7b61be2.pdf the reference comes from the section titled "drift stage" Upper Cretaceous where it talks about the different deposits, but denies the ophiolite theory Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:33, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

• Good to go with ALT1 or ALT2. I would go with ALT2 myself as the most easily understood by a general reader. SpinningSpark 13:50, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
