Köppen climate type:
A group of metamorphic rocks exposed in a series of tectonic windows beneath the Semail Ophiolite Complex, which forms much of the backbone of the Oman mountain chain (Woolley et al. 1991; Ziegler et al. 1991). Carbonatite outcrops occur within the metamorphic sequence, but are largely restricted to a mountainous area of c. 12 x 2 km lying between the wadis of Uyaynah and Shimal. The carbonatite forms layers, pods and lenses enclosed by less competent schists and amphibolites of the Uyaynah window.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Early/Lower Cretaceous : 103.2 ± 1.2 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
