Abstract
See foldout. A more detailed topographic map can be found in the online publication. Figure A.3 provides a correlation/comparison of Permian ages between the ‘International Stratigraphic Chart’ and the ‘Tethyan Time Scale’. Prof. Christopher Bailey (College of William & Mary, USA) creates and provides a number of helpful and interesting blogs about the fascinating geology of Oman: 1. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/inside-ghubrah-bowl-oman-dropstones-double-duckbills-pencil-structures-oh/ 2. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/omans-geological-triple-point/ 3. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/the-road-to-the-moho/ 4. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/wadi-bani-ghafir-at-sidaq-gorge-water-versus-rock-in-oman/ 5. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/omans-mega-sheath-folds/ 6. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/dispatches-from-oman-juxtaposition/ 7. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/dispatches-from-oman-fodder-for-the-tectonic-cannon/ 8. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/dispatches-from-oman-wadi-jizzi-standing-at-the-bottom-of-the-tethys-ocean/ 9. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/dispatches-from-oman-ophiolite-to-aflaj/ 10. https://wmblogs.wm.edu/cmbail/finding-sharqiya-sands-oman/ Inconsistencies are found between the BRGM 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 maps within the Hawasina formations. In all cases we have followed the 1:100 000 maps rather the 1:250 000 map. 1. The geological map of Nazwa (1:250 000; Bechennec …
Highlights
Note that the northeastern margin of the Saih Hatat Dome consists of HP rocks of the Arabian Margin, which have been thrust by some tens of kilometres
E-W-directed deformation of the Hadhramaut Group (F6 folds), normal faulting along Batinah Coastal Plain and the margins of the domes, including basanite intrusions
Appendices to: The geology and tectonics of the Jabal Akhdar and Saih Hatat Domes (Oman Mountains)
