“…5 shows a scheme of the palaeogeographical reconstruction of Iberia and its relationship with the western Tethys area, indicating the main zones of sedimentation, elevated areas and those covered by the sea. The general interpretation of the western Tethys in this figure is based on Ziegler and Stampfli (2001), Ziegler (1988), Stampfli and Borel (2002) and Ford and Golonka (2003). Some of the basins of Iberia were the result of reactivation of ancient Hercynian faults (Arthaud and Matte, 1977;Alvaro et aI., 1979;Ziegler, 1988;Arche and L6pez-G6mez, 1996), representing the initial phase of post-Variscan plate reorganization.…”

“…Despite these problems, several interesting recent Late Pennian palaeogeographic reconstructions including the Iberian Plate have appeared in the literature (see Ziegler, 1988Ziegler, , 1990Ziegler, , 1993Ziegler and Stampfli, 2001 ;Stampfli and Borel, 2002;Stampfli et aI., 2001 ;Ford and Golonka, 2003 ;Ronov et aI., 1984, among others). These reconstructions are mainly comprised of regionalor global-scale maps based on palaeogeographical summaries.…”

“…The study area is situated in the central part of the 700 km long Oman Mountains. The PermoTriassic tectonic context of Oman involves the breakup of Pangea, which led to the opening of the Neotethys Ocean between Gondwana and the Cimmerian continental blocks (Stampfli and Borel, 2002). This breakup also resulted in the formation of a passive continental margin on the northern edge of the Indian and Arabian plates (Chauvet et al, 2009).…”

Understanding the distribution and geometry of reservoir geobodies is crucial for netto-gross estimates and to model subsurface flow. This paper focuses on the process of dolomitization and resulting geometry of diagenetic geobodies in an outcrop of Jurassic host rocks from northern Oman. Field and petrographic data show that a first phase of stratabound dolomite is crosscut by a second phase of fault-related dolomite. The stratabound dolomite geobodies are laterally continuous for at least several hundreds of meters (~1000 ft) and probably regionally and are half a meter (1.6 ft) thick. Based on petrography and geochemistry, a process of seepage reflux of mesosaline or hypersaline fluids during the early stages of burial diagenesis is proposed for the formation of the stratabound dolomite. In contrast, the fault-related dolomite geobodies are trending along a fault that can be followed for at least 100 Running head:Linking process, dimension, texture and geochemistry in dolomite geobodies

“…The origin of the pebble of the Plaine Morte Bed is probably similar to the one proposed for the Austrian cobble; i.e., a dropstone which was associated with floating wood (for example captured in the root network). Given its hercynian origin and the reconstructed eastwest oriented current system that followed the northern Tethyan margin, it may have originated from the western part of the Bohemian massif, which was exposed at that time (e.g., Föllmi and Delamette, 1991;Stampfli and Borel, 2002;Golonka, 2004).…”

The sedimentary succession of the Col de la Plaine Morte area (Helvetic Alps, central Switzerland) documents the disappearance of the northern Tethyan Urgonian platform in unprecedented detail and suggests stepwise platform demise, with each drowning phase documented by erosion and phosphogenesis. The first identified drowning phase terminated Urgonian carbonate production in a predominantly photozoan mode. Using a correlation of the whole-rock δ 13 C record with the well-dated record from SE France, its age is inferred to as Middle Early Aptian (near the boundary between the weissi and deshayesi zones). A subsequent drowning phase is dated by ammonites and by a correlation of the whole-rock δ 13 C record as Late Early Aptian (late deshayesi to early furcata zone). A third drowning phase provides an ammonite-based age of Early Late Aptian (subnodosocostatum and melchioris zones) and is part of a widely recognized phase of sediment condensation and phosphogenesis, which is dated as latest Early to Middle Late Aptian (late furcata zone to near the boundary of the melchioris and nolani zones). The fourth and final drowning phase started in the latest Aptian (jacobi zone) as is also indicated by ammonite findings at the Col de la Plaine Morte. The phases of renewed platform-carbonate production intervening between the drowning phases were all in a heterozoan mode. During the ultimate drowning phase, phosphogenesis continued until the Early Middle Albian, whereas condensation processes lasted until the Middle Turonian. Coverage of the external margin of the drowned Urgonian platform by a drape of pelagic carbonates started only in the Late Turonian. During the Santonian, the external part of the drowned platform underwent normal faulting and saw the re-exposure of already lithified Urgonian carbonates at the seafloor. Based on the here-inferred ages, the first drowning phase just precedes oceanic anoxic episode 1a (OAE 1a or "selli event") in time, and the second drowning phase partly overlaps with OAE 1a. The onset of the third drowning event slightly predates two further periods of increased organic-matter accumulation in the Vocontian Basin (Noir and Fallot levels), and the onset of the fourth and final drowning phase may coincide with two further periods of increased organic-matter accumulation in the Vocontian Basin (Jacob and Kilian levels, part of OAE 1b). These correlations indicate a relationship between the so-called anoxic episodes and the stepwise demise of the Urgonian platform, even if the onset of environmental change is registered earlier on the platform than in basinal sediments.
