Paper published in Carbonates and Evaporites

Working alongside colleagues from Sultan Qaboos University and the University of Ferrara, Badley Ashton’s Dr. Laura Galluccio has had a paper published in ‘Carbonates and Evaporites’. Entitled “Lithostratigraphy and limestone microfacies of the Oligocene lagoonal, coral patch reef-bearing Maʼahm Beds (South Mawaleh, Oman)”. The Oligocene of the eastern area of the Arabian Plate is poorly exposed and poorly understood. This study makes the first bed-by-bed study of the Oligocene coral-bearing Ma’ahm Beds, with the aim of analysing their standard microfacies and elucidating their depositional environment.
