Sequence stratigraphy: methodology and nomenclature
Octavian Catuneanu,William E. Galloway,Christopher G. St. C. Kendall,Andrew D. Miall,Henry W. Posamentier,André Strasser,Maurice E. Tucker +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a standard but flexible methodology is proposed to analyze stratal stacking patterns in a sequence stratigraphic unit, from sequence to systems tract and parasequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabian Plate Sequence Stratigraphy – revisions to SP2
TL;DR: The authors provided a unifying stratigraphic interpretation of the Arabian Plate within a modern sequence stratigrapheme framework, and presented new interpretations of mixed carbonate-clastic systems presented by these authors.

Stratigraphic architecture and fracture-controlled dolomitization of the Cretaceous Khami and Bangestan groups: an outcrop case study, Zagros Mountains, Iran
Ian R. Sharp,Paul Gillespie,D. Morsalnezhad,Conxita Taberner,R. Karpuz,Jaume Vergés,A. Horbury,N. Pickard,J. Garland,David Hunt +9 more
TL;DR: This work has been carried out as part of a joint study between Norsk Hydro (now Statoil) and NIOC (National Iranian Oil Company) as mentioned in this paper, which was conducted as a joint project between NIOC and Statoil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial-foraminiferal episodes in the Early Aptian of the southern Tethyan margin: Ecological significance and possible relation to oceanic anoxic event 1a
TL;DR: In this paper, two regionally significant microbial-foraminiferal episodes (∼150 kyr each) occur within the Early Aptian shallow marine platform in Oman and throughout eastern Arabia and are coeval with oceanic anoxic event 1a (OAE1a; Livello Selli).
Journal ArticleDOI
Early to mid-Cretaceous mixed carbonate-clastic shelfal systems: examples, issues and models from the Arabian Plate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new sequence stratigraphic model that links Kuwait, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, to Oman and Yemen.

Latest pulse of Earth: Evidence for a mid-Cretaceous superplume
TL;DR: For the past 150 m.y. as mentioned in this paper, a 50% to 75% increase in ocean crust formation rate between 120 and 80 Ma was seen both in spreading-rate increases from ocean ridges and in the age distribution of oceanic plateaus.
