"The Geology and Tectonics of the Oman Region" ed. by A. H. F. Robertson, M. P. Searle, A. C. Ries

Geological Society Special Publication No. 49

The Oman Mountains form probably the world's best exposed deformed continental margin and, as such, the region is an ideal field laboratory for the study of fundamental processes including rifting, passive margin development and thrust tectonics. The contributors discuss the sedimentary and structural evolution of the Mesozoic continental margin which is particularly relevant to oil and gas exploration in Oman.

Several papers concentrate on the previously geologically unknown area outside the Oman Mountains following realisation of the major hydrocarbon potential of the Palaeozoic sequences of Southern Oman. Three final papers set the Oman area in its Middle Eastern plate tectonic context, including Iran.

This unique synthesis will interest earth scientists concerned with hydrocarbon habitat, structural geology, sedimentology and palaeoceanography.
