Figure 17: Paleofacies of the Late Paleocene to Early Eocene spanning deposition of the Rus, Umm er Radhuma, and Pabdeh formations, and their regional equivalents [MFS Pg10 to intra-Pg20]. Sediments were deposited within a ‘remnant’ foredeep setting during rapid erosion, lowering, and subsidence of the emergent ophiolite and sedimentary structures along the eastern margin of the Plate.
