- Summary:
- This memoir provides a regional synthesis of the geology of the rimmed Arabian Intrashelf Basin, reconciling differing interpretations of lithostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy & biostratigraphy. Variation of energy levels & facies due to its setting in the SE palaeotradewind belt are described. The basin basin formed during rising sea level as a single rimmed carbonate intrashelf basin. A possible global cooling phase resulted in a lowstand which restricted the basin, resulting in petrographically unique carbonate source rock facies dominated by cyanobacterial deposition. Two subsequent third-order carbonate sequences largely filled the basin. Eustatic change concomitant with uplift of the Tethys shelf resulted in alternation of carbonates & evaporites across the region. The end result was a sealed intrashelf basin which preserved early formed porosity & confined generated hydrocarbons.
