“…Sharp et al (2010) identified three regionally extensive karst surfaces in the uppermost Cenomanian-Turonian interval, and interpreted them to be related to flexure of the Arabian Plate margin due to the initiation of intra-oceanic deformation. The first of these karst surfaces (their Sb-Sa4) is the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary, which caps a strongly progradational Mishrif Formation.…”

“…The first of these karst surfaces (their Sb-Sa4) is the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary, which caps a strongly progradational Mishrif Formation. Above the first karst surface, Sharp et al (2010) reported that the lower Turonian sequence (their Sa5 sequence) is typically missing due to truncation by a second karst surface (their Sb-Sa5). The middle and upper Turonian sequence (their Sa-6) is capped by a third karst surface (their Sb-Sa6) and is overlain by the Coniacian Surgah Formation.…”
Regional 2D seismic profiles and 2D cross-sections extracted from high-resolution 3D seismic data were interpreted together with well data to reconstruct the sequence stratigraphy of the

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
