Kurzfassung
We studied a high quality calcite vein network on a polished limestone outcrop in the Oman Mountains. In most cases outcrops of scientific interest are situated far away and therefore only reachable for a certain time period. The Oman Mountains provide a huge amount of world-class outcrops. The aim of this work is to create a high-resolution panorama of an outcrop called ‘the Swimming Pool Pavement’, which is situated in Wadi Dham at the southern slope of Jabal Sarrah. The outcrop consists of a high-quality calcite vein network on a polished limestone outcrop (Natih Formation). We found three different vein sets in the pavement. The outcrop panorama allows several further office-based investigations and therefore is a powerful tool. The thesis describes methodology and workflow of the panorama generation, compares different approaches of image acquisition and evaluates different important parameters that influence image stitching accuracy. Integrated detail pictures taken at spots of interest and calcite vein thin section images allow to work on different scales: one can zoom into the panorama from bird’s eye view to microscopic scale. Field observations and microstructural description of fibrous calcite veins (set 1) give a first approach to the structural geology of the outcrop.
