Abstract:
Abstract Ophiolites are remnants of oceanic crust and mantle, now typically found within continental mountain ranges like the Alps. Particularly in areas once part of the Tethys Ocean, ophiolites are often accompanied by narrow stripes of metamorphic rocks, commonly referred to as metamorphic soles. These metamorphic soles typically exhibit peak metamorphic conditions characteristic of either granulite or amphibolite facies. Geochronological studies of Tethyan ophiolites indicate that the development of these metamorphic soles occurred almost simultaneously with the crystallization of the ophiolite’s crustal sequence. Geological evidence also suggests that the metamorphism of the sole rocks took place concurrently with deformation, likely at the same time as the ophiolite’s obduction. In our research, we explore the metamorphic effects of shearing in an ophiolite sequence overlying a crustal sequence. Our findings reveal that strong lithologies like ophiolites can produce additional heat through the dissipation of mechanical energy, which can potentially explain the high temperatures found in metamorphic-sole rocks. In addition, heating-driven softening of the footwall rocks eventually leads to the migration of the active shear zone from the mantle sequence into the upper crustal domain. This migration may be responsible for the metamorphic sole incorporation at the base of the ophiolite. Finally, we demonstrate that stopping the shearing process rapidly cools these rocks, corresponding with the findings from thermochronological studies from Oman ophiolite.

Abstract:
When the highlands of Arabia were still covered with an ice shield in the latest Carboniferous/Early Permian period, separation of Gondwana started. This led to the creation of the Batain basin (part of the early Indian Ocean), off the northeastern margin of Oman. The rifting reactivated an Infra-Cambrian rift shoulder along the northeastern Oman margin and detritus from this high was shed into the interior Oman basin. Whereas carbonate platform deposits became widespread along the margin of the Neo-Tethys (northern rim of Oman), drifting and oceanization of the Batain basin started only in Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous time. Extensional tectonics was followed in the Late Cretaceous by contraction caused by the northward drift of Greater India and Afro-Arabia. This resulted in the collision of Afro-Arabia with an intra-oceanic trench and obduction of the Semail ophiolite and the Hawasina nappes south to southwestward onto the northern Oman margin ∼80 m.y. ago. During the middle Cretaceous, the oceanic lithosphere (including the future eastern ophiolites of Oman) drifted northwards as part of the Indian plate. At the Cretaceous–Palaeogene transition (∼65 Ma), oblique convergence between Greater India and Afro-Arabia caused fragments of the early Indian Ocean to be thrust onto the Batain basin. Subsequently, the Lower Permian to uppermost Maastrichtian sediments and volcanic rocks of the Batain basin, along with fragments of Indian Ocean floor (eastern ophiolites), were obducted northwestward onto the northeastern margin of Oman. Palaeogene neo-autochtonous sedimentary rocks subsequently covered the nappe pile. Tertiary extensional tectonics related to Red Sea rifting in the Late Eocene was followed by Miocene shortening, associated with the collision of Arabia and Eurasia and the formation of the Oman Mountains.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Zagros fold-and-thrust belt of SW Iran is a young continental convergence zone, extending NW–SE from eastern Turkey through northern Iraq and the length of Iran to the Strait of Hormuz and into northern Oman. This belt reflects the shortening and off-scraping of thick sediments from the northern margin of the Arabian platform, essentially behaving as the accretionary prism for the Iranian convergent margin. Distribution of Upper Cretaceous ophiolites in the Zagros orogenic belt defines the northern limit of the evolving suture between Arabia and Eurasia and comprises two parallel belts: (1) Outer Zagros Ophiolitic Belt (OB) and (2) Inner Zagros Ophiolitic Belt (IB). These belts contain complete (if disrupted) ophiolites with well-preserved mantle and crustal sequences. Mantle sequences include tectonized harzburgite and rare ultramafic–mafic cumulates as well as isotropic gabbro lenses and isolated dykes within the harzburgite. Crustal sequences include rare gabbros (mostly in IB ophiolites), sheeted dyke complexes, pillowed lavas and felsic rocks. All Zagros ophiolites are overlain by Upper Cretaceous pelagic limestone. Limited radiometric dating indicates that the OB and IB formed at the same time during Late Cretaceous time. IB and OB components show strong suprasubduction zone affinities, from mantle harzburgite to lavas. This is shown by low whole-rock Al2O3and CaO contents and spinel and orthopyroxene compositions of mantle peridotites as well as by the abundance of felsic rocks and the trace element characteristics of the lavas. Similarly ages, suprasubduction zone affinities and fore-arc setting suggest that the IB and OB once defined a single tract of fore-arc lithosphere that was disrupted by exhumation of subducted Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone metamorphic rocks. Our data for the OB and IB along with better-studied ophiolites in Cyprus, Turkey and Oman compel the conclusion that a broad and continuous tract of fore-arc lithosphere was created during Late Cretaceous time as the magmatic expression of a newly formed subduction zone developed along the SW margin of Eurasia.

Abstract:
Groundwater samples (54) collected from different geological units (alluvium, Tertiary, ophiolite, and Hawasina) located in the transboundary groundwater basin in north Oman at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) borders were analyzed for general hydrochemistry and water isotopes, and subsets thereof were analyzed for 14C and 3H and 87Sr/86Sr. The chemical composition, percentage of modern carbon (pmc), δ2H, δ18O, and 87Sr/86Sr of the groundwater in the study area progressively change from the recharge zone in the elevated area of the North Oman Mountains (NOM) to the flat plains at the UAE borders. While the water-rock interaction is the dominant process controlling the groundwater chemistry, evaporation and groundwater mixing affect the hydrochemistry at the UAE borders. Therefore, groundwater evolves from carbonate-dominant in the NOM into sodium chloride-dominant close to the UAE borders. It is also evident that groundwater lateral recharge from the ophiolites into the alluvium retains the chemical affinity of the ophiolites. Groundwater dating (high pmc), homogeneous 87Sr/86Sr ratios, and enriched δ2H and δ18O demonstrate the presence of modern recharge in the shallow zones of the ophiolites and alluvium. However, deep zones and areas at the UAE border contain older groundwater form during cooler and wetter climatic conditions as supported by the depleted δ2H and δ18O and lower 87Sr/86Sr ratios and pmc. Furthermore, the data clearly showed that modern groundwater mixes with older groundwater along the flow path from the NOM into the UAE border. Modern recharge occurs as lateral recharge from NOM and direct recharge in the plain area. The current findings support future development of aflaj system along NOM slopes and shallow wells in the plain areas.

Abstract:
Ultramafic rocks, such as the Semail Ophiolite in the Sultanate of Oman, are considered to be a potential storage site for CO2. This type of rock is rich in divalent cations that can react with dissolved CO2 and form carbonate minerals, which remain stable over geological periods of time. Dissolution of the ophiolite mobilizes heavy metals, which can threaten the safety of surface and groundwater supplies but secondary phases, such as iron oxides, clays and carbonate minerals, can take up significant quantities of trace elements both in their structure and adsorbed on their surfaces.Hyperalkaline spring waters issuing from the Semail Ophiolites can have pH as high as 12. This water absorbs CO2 from air, forming carbonate mineral precipitates either as thin crusts on the surface of placid water pools or bottom precipitates in turbulent waters. We investigated the composition of the spring water and the precipitates to determine the extent of trace element uptake. We collected water and travertine samples from two alkaline springs of the Semail Ophiolite. Twenty seven elements were detected in the spring waters. The bulk of the precipitate was CaCO3 in aragonite, as needles, and rhombohedral calcite crystals. Traces of dypingite (Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2·5H2O) and antigorite ((Mg,Fe)3Si2O5(OH)4) were also detected. The bulk precipitate contained rare earth elements and toxic metals, such as As, Ba, Cd, Sr and Pb, which indicated scavenging by the carbonate minerals. Boron and mercury were detected in the spring water but not in the carbonate phases. The results provide confidence that many of the toxic metals released by ophiolite dissolution in an engineered CO2 injection project would be taken up by secondary phases, minimizing risk to water quality.

Abstract:
AbstractTriassic volcanic rocks, stratigraphically associated with pelagic or reef limestones, are tectonically juxtaposed with Mesozoic ophiolites in the Tethyan realm. From the central (Dinarides, Hellenides) and eastern Mediterranean (Antalya, Troodos, Baër Bassit) to the Semail nappes (Oman), they occur either associated to the tectonic sole of the ophiolitic nappes or as a distinct tectonic pile intercalated between the ophiolites and other underthrust units. In the Dinaro-Hellenic belt, the Pelagonian units represent the lower plate, which is underthrust beneath the ophiolites. Middle to Late Triassic volcanic sequences are interpreted as the eastern flank of the Pelagonian platform and are therefore considered as a distal, deep-water part of the Pelagonian margin.The Triassic volcanics from Albania and Othrys are made up of basaltic pillowed and massive flows, associated locally with dolerites and trachytes. New elemental, Nd and Pb isotopic data allow to recognize four types of volcanic suites: (1) intra-oceanic alkaline and tholeiitic basalts, (2) intra-oceanic arc-tholeiites, (3) back-arc basin basalts, (4) calc-alkaline mafic to felsic rocks. Nd and Pb isotopic initial ratios suggest that the within-plate volcanic rocks were derived from an enriched oceanic island basalt type mantle source, devoid of any continental crustal component. The lower εNd value of the trachyte could be due to assimilation of oceanic altered crust or sediments in a shallow magma chamber. Island arc tholeiites and back-arc basin basalts have a similar wide range of εNd. The absence of Nb negative anomalies in the back-arc basin basalts suggests that the basin floored by these basalts was wide and mature. The high Th contents of the island arc tholeiites suggest that the arc volcanoes were located not far away from the continental margin.Albania and Othrys volcanics contrast with the Late Triassic volcanism from eastern Mediterranean (SW Cyprus, SW Turkey), which displays solely features of oceanic within plate suites. The presence of back-arc basin basalts associated with arc-related volcanics in Central Mediterranean indicates that they were close to a still active subduction during the Upper Triassic, while back-arc basins developed, associated with within-plate volcanism, leading to the NeoTethys opening.

Les objectifs de cette etude geochimique ont ete: a) la caracterisation des series magmatiques de la nappe ophiolitique de semail en oman, b) l'analyse des processus hydrothermaux ayant affecte ce massif. Les unites volcaniques v1, v2 et v3, identifiees dans ce massif, presentent respectivement les caracteres geochimiques des morb de l'ocean indien, de basaltes d'arcs et de basaltes alcalins. Dans la sequence plutonique de la section du wadi haymiliyah, les donnees geochimiques ont permis de relier respectivement les deux series gabbroique et wehrlitique aux volcanismes v1 et v2. La zone de transition de cette section pesente des caracteres geochimiques originaux (nd(t)21, spectres en terres rares discontinus) qui s'expliquent par un processus d'impregnation d'harzburgites residuelles par des magmas elementaires de compositions variees. Les compositions isotopiques du strontium et de l'hydrogene montrent que la sequence extrusive du wadi salahi a ete alteree par des fluides d'origine marine. Les quatre types d'alteration (basaltes alteres, diabases alteres, epidosites et roches mineralisees), mis en evidence mineralogiquement, presentent des caracteres geochimiques distincts. Ils ont ete alteres dans des conditions differentes, et peuvent correspondre a differentes parties d'un systeme hydrothermal comprenant des zones de recharge et des zones de decharge. Le devenir des elements en trace a ete examine. Les bilans de matiere ont montre l'importance des veines d'epidote et de calcite et des epidosites dans les systemes hydrothermaux. Les caracteres geochimiques de l'alteration de cette ophiolite different de ceux observes dans la croute oceanique actuelle. Ces differences peuvent s'expliquer par la superposition, dans le massif d'oman, de plusieurs stades d'alteration hydrothermale induits par les differents episodes magmatiques

Abstract:
Pour vérifier l'existence de la segmentation mantellique suggérée par la chimie des basaltes des rides océaniques actuelles, nous avons échantillonné le manteau de l'ophiolite d'Oman sur une distance de 400km parallèlement au paléoaxe. Ainsi avons nous prélevé 280 harzburgites dans lesquelles nous avons analysé les phases primaires et la roche totale (éléments majeurs et traces). A de rares exceptions, les péridotites étudiées sont toutes très réfractaires et montrent une grande variabilité chimique à l'échelle de l'ophiolite, bien organisée parallèlement à l'axe da la paléodorsale. L'étude de ces variations a permis de montrer l'existence de 3 grands segments (longueur de 100-160km) interprétés comme des dômes asthénosphériques, eux-mêmes divisés en petits segments pouvant correspondre à des diapirs mantelliques plus superficiels. Cela laisse penser que l'ophiolite d'Oman s'est formée dans un contexte instable, dynamique et rapide, ressemblant aux bassins arrière-arc actuels
To test that variations in basalts composition at present oceanic ridges reflect segmentation of the underlying mantle, we sampled the mantle section of the Oman ophiolite over a distance of 400km parallel to the inferred paleo-ridge. Data concern 280 harzburgites in which we have analysed primary phases and the whole rock chemistry including major and trace elements. Except for a few samples that bear some impregnation evidence, the studied peridotites are all strongly residual rocks that have recorded a great variability in their chemical characters at the ophiolitic scale, well-organised when analysed along the paleo-axis. This allows to define 3 large segments 100-160km long, that likely correspond to large asthenospheric upwellings, divided in smaller segments that can represent small superficial mantle diapirs. This likely indicates that the Oman ridge, segmented at a small scale, was operating in an unstable, dynamical and fast evolving context, as present-day back-arc domains

La synthese des donnees gravimetriques collectees en oman depuis 1954, completee par de nombreuses campagnes d'acquisition dans les regions encore non-couvertes conduit a l'etablissement d'une base de donnees homogene couvrant tout le territoire omanais. La carte de l'anomalie de bouguer ainsi obtenue est interpretee en termes de structures regionales le long d'un profil 2d au centre de l'oman. Nous proposons alors un premier modele structural pour les ophiolites de masirah et la geometrie de la croute continentale au centre de l'oman. Localement, les anomalies gravimetriques sont interpretees avec les donnees sismiques et magnetiques afin de localiser des bassins sedimentaires presentant un interet petrolier. Puis, dans la seconde partie de ce travail, nous nous interessons a la chaine nord-omanaise. Sur la base des anomalies gravimetriques au nord de l'oman et dans les regions limitrophes, mais egalement des donnees sismiques d'origine petroliere, nous proposons une structure crustale actuelle pour cette region. Les donnees sismiques et gravimetriques permettent egalement d'estimer les differentes forces agissant sur la lithosphere arabique et liees a des processus de deformation actuels ou passes. Ces differentes forces sont appliquees sur une lithosphere arabique deformee de facon elastique, en deux episodes instantanes, durant l'obduction, et au tertiaire. Ces differents resultats permettent alors de proposer un evolution tectonique de la chaine nord-omanaise depuis pres de 100 ma, en domaine compressif, dans le cadre de la convergence arabie-eurasie.

Abstract:
This book, based on laboratory, teaching and field experience, has a strong focus towards hard rocks and magmatic rocks, from both the continental crust worldwide, where quartz and granites are dominant, and the mantle dominated by olivine in peridotites. With more than 250 figures, most of them original, the book develops, in addition to classical structural geology objects, the fundamentals of brittle fracturing of materials, plastic deformation of ice, quartz and olivine, and fabric acquisition in rocks and magmas. Measurement and orientation of stress axes, bases of neotectonics and geophysics, and practical tools such as magnetic fabrics not commonly treated in geological books, are also provided. Emblematic tectonic and geodynamic sites are presented, both from the oceanic and continental crust, for instance the Oman ophiolites, and the India-Eurasia collision and its associated shear zones. Since the targeted readers are present-day young students, a few structural geology exercises are also included in order to improve their abilities.

Abstract:
Abstract The world-class outcrops of the MusandamPeninsula and Northern Oman Mountains have given valuable insight into the geological setting, history and genesis of the fold and thrust belt in the northern United Arab Emirates. This paper provides new insight into the tectonic evolution of the Northern Oman Mountains in the Emirate of Sharjah using state-of-the-art 3D seismic and reprocessed legacy 2D seismic via structural restoration. Seismic interpretation has revealed that two thrust systems exist in the subsurface separated by a detachment which lies in Upper Cretaceous strata. A deep thrust system forms at Arabian Platform level (Lower Cretaceous and older) and a shallower thrust system within the Aruma Group (Upper Cretaceous and younger) is present as well. Throughout much of the thrust belt in Sharjah, the Aruma Group subcrops beneath the desert and outcrops along narrow ridges that protrude from it at present day. The thrust front is characterised by a series of en echelon pop-up structures which form a north-south trend across the Emirate. It is proposed that these transpressional features formed along pre-existing north-south trending lineaments. These are the most prospective hydrocarbon traps in the Northern Emirates and include the Sajaa, Moveiyed, Kahaif, Mahani, and Margham gas-condensate fields. The area has been through a series of tectonic events, related to extension in the Permian, tectonic quiescence throughout much of the Mesozoic, an ophiolite obduction event in the late Cretaceous, and in line with the general view, a second compressional event in the Miocene related to the Zagros Orogeny. In the Miocene, the thrust front pop-up structures acted as buttresses and prevented the westward movement of the shallow thrust belt within the Aruma Group, which led to duplexing and intense imbrication to the east of the thrust front and to the west of the encroaching Semail Ophiolite. The interrelationships between these events, stratigraphy, and basin evolution are discussed in this paper with a view to unravelling the tectonic history of the Northern Oman Mountains.
