Seismic stratigraphy of a Lower Cretaceous prograding carbonate platform (Oman) and implications for the eustatic sea-level curve

The Lower Cretaceous of northern Oman consists of a large carbonate platform which prograded over a distance of 280 km (174 miles) in approximately 15 Ma. The seismic stratigraphic interpretation of this system, based on a regional three-dimensional survey (40.000 km2, 15,400 sq miles), revealed a complicated organization of nested clinoforms with changing depositional dips.
