Summary The geology of the Oman Mountains, including the Jabal Akhdar & Saih Hatat domes, is extraordinarily well-exposed & diverse, spanning a geological record of more than 800 Ma. The area is blessed with first-class outcrops & is well known in the geological community for its ophiolite. The Oman Mountains have much more to offer; including, Neoproterozoic diamictites, fossil-rich Permo-Mesozoic carbonates & metamorphic rocks. The arid climate & deep incision of wadis allow for nearly complete rock exposure which can be investigated in all three dimensions. The diverse geology is also responsible for the breathtaking landscape. New roads & the nature of the friendly Omani people make fieldwork unforgettable. This memoir provides a thorough state-of-the-art overview of the geology & tectonics of the Southeastern Oman Mountains, & is accompanied by an over-sized geological map & a correlation chart.
