Data For: Beach rock as sea level indicator: a case study at the coastline of Oman (Indian Ocean)

This dataset contains sedimentological and petrographical data that lead to a facies analysis on several beach rock outcrops. The aim was to show that sedimentological facies analysis can lower the vertical error that has to be assumed when reconstructing paleo sea level based on beach rock. The study area is located along the northeastern coastline of Oman and a key area for the investigation of beach rock. This is due to the geomorphology of the region. Twelve marine terraces are observed running parallel to the coastline. On many of these terraces, beach rocks are observed.
The facies analysis was then used to establish a more accurate indicative meaning for the investigated beach rocks.

本数据集收录了沉积学及岩相学数据，旨在对若干海滩岩露头进行岩相分析。研究目的在于证明沉积岩相分析能够降低基于海滩岩重建古海平面时必须假设的垂直误差。研究区域位于阿曼东北海岸线，是该地区海滩岩调查的关键区域，这得益于该区域的地质地貌特征。观测到十二条海洋台地平行于海岸线延伸。在这些台地中，许多地方均有海滩岩的出露。随后，通过岩相分析，确立了针对调查海滩岩的更精确的指示意义。
