Architecture of the crust and lithosphere beneath the Semail Ophiolite from ambient noise tomography and receiver functions: insights on the tectonic evolution of eastern Arabia

, 2021
The Semail Ophiolite is the world‘s largest and best exposed oceanic lithosphere on land and a primary reference site for studies of creation of oceanic lithosphere, initiation of subduction, geodynamic models of obduction, subduction and ...

Postobductional Kinematic Evolution and Geomorphology of a Major Regional Structure—The Semail Gap Fault Zone (Oman Mountains)

Tectonics, 2019
The Semail Gap/Semail Gap Fault Zone is one of the most prominent tectonic features in the Oman Mountains and is located between the Jabal Akhdar Dome in the west and the Saih Hatat Dome to the east.

Petro-tectonic evolution of metamorphic sole of the Semail ophiolite, UAE

, 2020
The Semail ophiolite located in the eastern part of the Arabian platform preserves remnants of ocean plate stratigraphy and related metamorphic sole. To understand the petro-tectonic evolution of a metamorphic sole during subduction to obduction process,

Moho topography and Flexural response of Semail ophiolite in the Southern Oman Mountains: New constraints from teleseismic receiver functions and gravity anomalies

Geophysical Journal International
The Semail Ophiolite in Oman represents one of the well-preserved ophiolite complexes globally and provides a unique window into the processes of obduction.

Calcium amphibole exsolution lamellae in chromite from the Semail ophiolite: Evidence for a high-pressure origin

Lithos, 2019
We report here for the first time aluminous Ca-amphibole exsolution lamellae in an anhydrous chromite host of podiform chromitite from the Nakhl massif of the Semail Ophiolite.

Evidence of postobductional, brittle and transtensional deformation: the lineamentary Issmaiya Fault Zone – insights from kinematic analyses and remote sensing data interpretation (Semail Ophiolite near Ibra, Oman Mts., Sultanante of Oman)

, 2020
The main Meso-Cenozoic tectonic event that affected northern Oman was the obduction of allochthonous Hawasina Basin-derived sedimentary and volcanic rocks as well as the Semail Ophiolite during the Late Cretaceous.
