The best exposure of these sediments is located at the Mutalj Quarry where Middle Miocene Badenian limestone appears. However, based on the exploratory drilling, it was determined that the basis of the Badenian sediments is composed of different rocks from an older Miocene continental series (Fig. 2.
Offshore seismic sections both in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman show a prominent Upper Miocene unconformity that truncates folds and thrusts beneath. The …
In the southeastern Oman Mountains the mantle section of the Samail ophiolite is unconformably capped by large units of Maastrichtian to Miocene, shallow marine limestones. Oceanic crust and upper mantle were thrust onto the Arabian continental margin from ca 96 to 80 Ma. Subaerial erosion locally removed the crustal section and …
Lithofacies of strata in northern, central, and southern Oman from the Palaeocene to Miocene (compiled from Bechennec et al. 1993; Nolan et al. 1990; and …
In northern Oman, compression resumed after a period of stable carbonate sedimentation and is recorded by a change of sedimentation in the late Early Miocene to …

The Plants at these Quarries have the capacity to produce 5000 MT of limestone products in various grades and sizes, per day. NMC's Chrome Quarry is situated in Sumail, approximately 100 kilo meters from Muscat. 15,000 to 20,000 tons of materials are extracted annually from this quarry.
The Maradi fault zone is a major NW–SE fault near Natih, SE of the Oman mountains, traceable for at least 60 km. It separates rocks of Campanian/Maastrichtian age (Fiqa …

The age of the Subis Limestone ranges from Oligocene to Miocene, based on the occurrence of the larger benthic foraminifera Miogypsinoides sp. (late Oligocene, Te4) and Miogypsina sp. (early ...
The Islands' size is a mere 316 km2, where thirty aggregate quarries and some sixty stone quarries presently supply the local burgeoning construction industry with quarry products.
Geologically 10% of Sri Lanka is made up of Miocene limestone, which covers the northern and northwestern coastal belt of the island. It is used as a raw material for various industries, but at present only cement and lime are used for the construction industry.
A third scheme was used by Ma'ala et al. (1988) for detailed regional mapping. They recognized five laterally persistent limestone marker beds within the Fatha Formation. Marker Beds 1 and 2 are located in the lower member while Marker Beds 3, 4 and 5 are within the upper ().All of the marker beds are characterized by particular lithological …
Today Oman is one of largest marble/limestone producers in the world producing over 160,000 sqft of Limestone/Marble Tiles and Slabs a day with state of the art Italian Machinery. Appearance of Omani Marble and Limestone. Omani marble and limestone is a material of choice amongst consultants in Singapore, Dubai and Mumbai.
The boundary between the late Oligocene and the early Miocene coincides with a sharp change from foraminifera-dominated facies to coral-dominated facies, shown at the Hollystone Quarry. The Subis Limestone records a transgression event from mixed siliciclastic–carbonate (Subis-2 well) to clean biohermal carbonates as shown in the …
The Al Hajar Mountains in Oman were uplifted during the late Eocene to early Miocene. Uplift occurred above a basement thrust and lateral ramp due to SSW directed shortening. Crustal thickening of the …

Highlights The Miocene Nullarbor Limestone is composed of subtropical skeletal carbonates. Deposition occurred in shallow marine environments of a broad epeiric platform/ramp. Paleoenvironments included seagrass banks, rhodolith gravels and open seafloors. This unit likely represents back-reef facies of a proposed Miocene barrier …

Biohermal (reefs) and biostromal (coral carpets) facies were studied in the Austrian Middle Miocene Leitha Limes-tone. In the Vienna Basin ("Fenk quarry") non-framebuilding and framebuilding ...
Most glass is made by fusing a mixture of silica sand and soda ash, limestone dolomite and other material. Generally very high purity (CaCO3 98.5 % or CaO 55.2) is required for this application. Iron Industry: Limestone is used to remove impurities from molten iron. Limestone or lime is used as a flux to assist melting.
The Miocene sedimentary successions in the northwest Gulf of Suez allow insight into the syn-rift deposition. These rocks are subdivided into three formations, namely the Sadat Formation coeval with the Gharra Formation (Early Miocene), the Hommath Formation (Middle Miocene), and the Hagul Formation (Late Miocene). The Miocene …
