Abstract

The lithofacies distribution of the Permian-Triassic sequence across the Middle East region shows a great diversity of depositional sedimentary facies laterally as well as vertically. During Permian-Middle Triassic time, a clastic-carbonate shelf facies characterizes most of the Middle East region. This platform facies is marked by a number of depositional sedimentary facies which is related to a wide variety of environments, from non-marine, supratidal and restricted marine shelf to open-sea and deeper-shelf deposition.
