Lithostratigraphy and Limestone Microfacies of the Jafnayn Formation (Paleocene to Early Eocene, Al-Khod, Sultanate of Oman): Deposition in a Restricted Lagoon with Intervals of Open Marine Conditions

Lithostratigraphy and Limestone Microfacies of the Jafnayn Formation (Paleocene to Early Eocene, Al-Khod, Sultanate of Oman): Deposition in a Restricted Lagoon with Intervals of Open Marine Conditions

We studied the Jafnayn Formation’s lithostratigraphy, microfacies, depositional environment, and uncertain presence of the Paleocene/Eocene boundary and present the first detailed analysis of a 127-m-thick section using the standard microfacies (SMF)/facies zone (FZ) system. The formation is dominat...
