  • Chapter 3 Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Baynunah
    Chapter 3 Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Baynunah Formation Mathieu Schuster Université de Strasbourg & Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Institut de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg (IPGS) UMR 7516, 1 rue Blessig, 67084 Strasbourg, France [email protected] Abstract: The Baynunah Formation (8–6 Ma) outcrops along the western coast of Abu Dhabi Emirate and has produced the only known late Miocene continental vertebrate fauna from the Arabian Peninsula. This chapter presents an overview of the geology of this formation with a focus on its stratigraphy and sedimentology. Remains of vertebrates are mainly found in the lower to middle part of this formation, which is dominated by fluvial deposits and associated paleosols containing rhizoliths and insect nests. Whitish carbonate beds occur towards the top of the formation, and preserve numerous trackways of large mammals (proboscideans and ungulates). Photographs in this chapter provide a comprehensive illustration of the most remarkable aspects of the Baynunah Formation, from outcrop conditions down to depositional structures. Running head: Sedimentology & stratigraphy 1 Introduction This chapter provides key information and observations on the geological context of the Baynunah Formation. The aim here is not to describe its sedimentology in detail or to discuss its stratigraphy – this can be found in earlier papers – but to provide future workers with an overview of the geology of this formation, notably with illustrations of outcrops and information about its depositional environments, as a field guide would do. The Baynunah Formation has produced, at this time, the only upper Miocene continental fossils (vertebrates, invertebrates and plants) known from the Arabian Peninsula.

  • Developing a Framework of Dune Accumulation in the Northern Rub Al
    Developing a framework of Quaternary dune accumulation in the northern Rub’ al-Khali, Arabia. Andrew R Farranta, Geoff A T Dullerb, Adrian G Parkerc, Helen M Robertsb, Ash Partond, Robert W O Knoxa#, and Thomas Bidea. aBritish Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK. [email protected] [corresponding author 0115 9363184]. bAberystwyth Luminescence Research Laboratory, Department of Geography & Earth Sciences, Aberystwyth University, Aberystwyth, SY23 3DB, Wales, UK cDepartment of Social Sciences, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, OX3 0BP, UK dResearch Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, School of Archaeology, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX1 2HU, UK #Deceased Abstract Located at the crossroads between Africa and Eurasia, Arabia occupies a pivotal position for human migration and dispersal during the Late Pleistocene. Deducing the timing of humid and arid phases is critical to understanding when the Rub’ al-Khali desert acted as a barrier to human movement and settlement. Recent geological mapping in the northern part of the Rub’ al-Khali has enabled the Quaternary history of the region to be put into a regional stratigraphical framework. In addition to the active dunes, two significant palaeodune sequences have been identified. Dating of key sections has enabled a chronology of dune accretion and stabilisation to be determined. In addition, previously published optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates have been put in their proper stratigraphical context, from which a record of Late Pleistocene dune activity can be constructed. The results indicate the record of dune activity in the northern Rub’ al-Khali is preservation limited and is synchronous with humid events driven by the incursion of the Indian Ocean monsoon.
