Report (chapter)
Aberdeen on February 15, 2015 Metamorphism in the Oman Mountains in relation to the Semail ophiolite emplacement...rocks associated with the Semail ophiolite in the Oman Mountains represent two different facies series... The amphibolites of the metamorphic sole formed as a result of heat transfer from the hot overthrust...metamorphosed farther away from the spreading centre as the ophiolitic slab became cooler and moved closer...and crossite epidote schists formed in the Saih Hatat window as a result of A-type subduction (crustal thickening)
