Abstract

The Al-Amar fault, one of the most important geological features of the E corner of the Arabian Shield, separates a dominantly metavolcanic sequence overlying gneissis granodiorite of the basement to the E, from an essentially metasedimentary sequence to the W. Intrusive rocks of the region include: grabbro, diorite, granodiorite, and alkalic granite. The Al-Amar- Idsas region, evaluated in the light of the plate tectonic theory, appears to represent a continental volcanic arc and a contiguous back-arc basin. -Author
