DOI: 10.1029/2022tc007271
Abstract: Field survey, literature review, geological map interpretation, GPlates reconstruction and LA‐ICP‐MS U‐Pb dating of synkinematic calcite demonstrate that ∼E/W‐shortening in eastern Oman was significant and related to oblique convergence of Arabia and India from 32.5… read more here.
