Semail ophiolite in Oman obducted on southeastern margin of Arabian plate is more or less at the boundary between the Arabian, Eurasian and Indian plate. I want to know if the obduction and post obduction history of ophiolite can be related to regional tectonic frame work of this region. whether the obduction itself is resulted by tectonic uplift, exhumation of Zagros orogeny? or what else? ideas and data? suggestions?
Dear Munazzam,
You may seek the opinions of Mike Searle ([email protected],uk) and Peter Kelemen ([email protected]).

Munazzam Hello
Your question is not simple. At the same time, I propose that our paper (you can find it in RG DataBase) will be useful for you:
Eppelbaum, L.V. and Katz, Yu.I., 2016. Tectono-Geophysical Zonation of the Near and Middle East and Eastern Africa. International Journal of Geology, 10, 1-10.
