About this Item

A set of 13 adjoining colour sheets from the major geological mapping project of Oman's mountains. Each approx 76x102cm folding down and stored facing its Explanatory Notes in a clear plastic wallet 17x25cm. The Explanatory Notes are in card wraps with colour photo from the area covered to the front, and index map to the back. Page counts vary from 33pp to 76pp English text (translated from French) including several b/w photos, drawings, sections and maps. They are all ex-ETH Bibliothek Zurich with several stickers and ink stamps including "Ausgeschieden / Withdrawn". Otherwise the maps are very good, neatly folded with some creasing and spotting, a couple slightly worn with closed fold tears; the booklets very good or better; with tears to some wallets. The Omani Ministry of Petroleum and Minerals (MPM) engaged the French Bureau de Recherches Geologiques et Minieres (BRGM) to perform the survey during the 1980s-90s. Its primary outputs were a 1/250K series covering the whole country in 28 sheets, a 1/100K series covering parts of northern and southern Oman (approx 30 sheets, including this set), and a 1/50K series for selected high priority areas in the north (East View Geospatial). This set includes 13 sheets published in 1986 of the approx 18 covering the Oman mountains and part of Batinah as follows: Yanqul (NF40-2C); Ibri (NF40-2F); As Suwayq (NF40-3A); Barka (NF40-3B); Sib (NF40-3C); Rustaq (NF40-3D); Nakhl (NF40-3E); Fanjah (NF40-3F); Masqat [Muscat] (NF40-4A); Quryat (NF40-4D); Bahla (NF40-7A); Birkat Al Mawz (NF40-7B); and Samad (NF40-7C). The remaining sheets (not included here) apparently followed in the 1990s. They are based on fieldwork done during 1982-84. BRGM's Resident Manager and Head of Project was J. Caia. BRGM was joined by MPM geologists, and supervised by MPM's Omar Al Amin (geologist) and Mohammed Kassim (Director of Minerals). Its specialists in Orleans backed up the fieldwork with studies (Foreword / Abstract). The boldly colour blocked geology is laid on contemporary topographic base maps prepared under the direction of the British Ministry of Defence in 1983 (for Yanqul, As-Suwayq, Barka, and Masqat), and by Hunting Surveys for the Omani Ministry of Defence in 1984 (for Ibri, Rustaq, Nakhl, Fanjah, Quryat, Bahla, Birkat al Mawz, and Samad). The work follows Ken Glennie's comprehensive geological study of the mountains for Shell during the late 1960s into the 1970s, and is contemporary with related work by the Geological Survey of Japan and University of Bern, and major ophiolite surveys by USGS around Muscat-Ibra (1981) and Open University along the northern coast (1986).

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Dendera, Beckenham, Kent, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

Shipping Terms

SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).

DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.

RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
