TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution sequence stratigraphic study of the Natih Formation in Oman is presented, which shows distinct and predictive patterns in the distribution and geometries of reservoir, source rock, and seal facies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution sequence stratigraphic study has been carried out in the Adam Foothills of Northern Oman, where three orders of stacked depositional sequences have been found based on the reoccurrence of facies.

TL;DR: In this article, three orders of depositional sequences are defined (third to fifth order) and correlated between sections over the course of three third-order sequences, covering the Barremian to Lower Aptian, a thirdorder depositional pattern is documented that consists of a succession of three distinct faunal assemblages: discoidal orbitolinids and calcareous algae were deposited during early transgression; microbialites and microencrusters dominated the late transgressive to early highstand facies; and a rudist and milioliddominated facies is typical

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed sedimentological and sequence stratigraphic model of the platform margin of the Cretaceous carbonate margin is presented to reveal the relative importance of global and regional controls on platform evolution.
