  • A Possible Albian Impact Crater at Murshid, Southern Oman
    GeoArabia, Vol. 7, No. 4, 2002 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain A possible Albian impact crater at Murshid, southern Oman Bruce Levell1, Pascal Richard2 and Folco Hoogendijk2, Petroleum Development Oman ABSTRACT During interpretation of a 3-D seismic survey in southern Oman a solitary, 2.5-km-wide circular basin with a central peak and raised rim was identified in the subsurface 35 km west of the Marmul oil field. The feature is the only one of its kind in the area. The basinal structure is probably of Late Cretaceous (Albian) age and the regional geology strongly suggests that it is neither a volcanic crater nor related to salt-dome tectonics or salt dissolution. It possibly represents a crater formed by a terrestrial impact event and has been named the Murshid crater. This report does not constitute a detailed investigation of the possible impact crater but rather records the 3-D seismic observations and the drilling that has taken place near the structure so far. INTRODUCTION During interpretation of a newly acquired 3-D seismic survey for oil exploration in southern Oman, a solitary 2.5-km-diameter circular basinal feature was identified as a possible impact structure and was named the Murshid crater. It lies 35 km west of the Marmul oil field in the South Oman Salt Basin (Figure 1). The center of the structure is at latitude 18º10’59"N, longitude 54º55’08”E, and it is buried at a depth of approximately 380 m below mean sea level (680 m below the ground surface). The authors are petroleum geologists who felt that the Murshid basinal structure needed reporting to the wider scientific community.

For planetary surface or landforms, a common method for dating is based on the frequency and size distribution of all the superposed craters after they are formed. However, there is usually a long duration for the yardangs’ formation, and they will alter the superposed craters, making it impossible to give a reliable dating result with the method. An indirect method by analyzing the ages of the superposed layered ejecta was devised in the research. First, the layered ejecta that are superposed on and not altered by the yardangs are identified and mapped. Then, the ages of the layered ejecta are derived according to the crater frequency and size distribution on them. These ages indicate that the yardangs ceased development by these times, and the ages are valuable for studying the evolution of the yardangs.

  • Water on the Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity
    Water on The Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity Arlin Crotts (Columbia University) For centuries some scientists have argued that there is activity on the Moon (or water, as recounted in Parts I & II), while others have thought the Moon is simply a dead, inactive world. [1] The question comes in several forms: is there a detectable atmosphere? Does the surface of the Moon change? What causes interior seismic activity? From a more modern viewpoint, we now know that as much carbon monoxide as water was excavated during the LCROSS impact, as detailed in Part I, and a comparable amount of other volatiles were found. At one time the Moon outgassed prodigious amounts of water and hydrogen in volcanic fire fountains, but released similar amounts of volatile sulfur (or SO2), and presumably large amounts of carbon dioxide or monoxide, if theory is to be believed. So water on the Moon is associated with other gases. Astronomers have agreed for centuries that there is no firm evidence for “weather” on the Moon visible from Earth, and little evidence of thick atmosphere. [2] How would one detect the Moon’s atmosphere from Earth? An obvious means is atmospheric refraction. As you watch the Sun set, its image is displaced by Earth’s atmospheric refraction at the horizon from the position it would have if there were no atmosphere, by roughly 0.6 degree (a bit more than the Sun’s angular diameter). On the Moon, any atmosphere would cause an analogous effect for a star passing behind the Moon during an occultation (multiplied by two since the light travels both into and out of the lunar atmosphere).

Henry and Bruce R. Wardlaw U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 86-555 Prepared in cooperation with the Defense Nuclear Agency This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. 1987 CLAY A sedimentologic term for a rock or mineral fragment or a detrital particle of any composition smaller than a very fine silt grain, having a diameter less than 1/256 mm (4 microns, or 0.00026 in., or 8 phi units). COBBLE A sedimentologic term for a rock fragment or detrital particle larger than a pebble and smaller than a boulder, having a diameter in the range of 64 to 256 mm (2.5 to 10 in., or -6 to -8 phi units). CONSOLIDATION Gradual or slow reduction in volume and increase in density of a material mass in response to increased loads or compressive stress; e.g., the adjustment of a saturated material involving the squeezing of water from pore spaces. COMPACTION Any process by which a material mass loses pore space and achieves a higher density, thereby increasing the bearing capacity, reducing the tendency to settle or deform under load, and increasing the general stability of the material mass (soil). CRATER A typically bowl-shaped or saucer-shaped pit or depression, generally of considerable size and with steep inner slopes, formed on a terrestrial or planetary surface or in the ground by the explosive release of chemical or kinetic energy; e.g., an impact crater or an explosion crater.
