Gondwana accretion tectonics and implications for the geodynamic evolution of eastern Arabia: First structural evidence of the existence of the Cadomian Orogen in Oman (Jabal Akhdar Dome, Central Oman Mountains)

This work describes two early Cambrian folding events within Cryogenian to earliest Cambrian rocks of the western Jabal Akhdar Dome (NE Oman). This sequence is truncated at an angular unconformity and overlain by a Permo-Mesozoic succession that is folded into a wide, gentle anticline, that differs in style and intensity of deformation from that below the unconformity. An older Paleozoic deformation (D1) have been identified within limestone of...
