| Abstract: | The Tertiary granitic intrusive body (∼21 Ma) of the Jabal Sabir area was emplaced during the early stages of the Red Sea
opening. This intrusive body occupies the southern sector of Taiz City. It is triangular in shape, affected by two major faults,
one of which is in parallel to the Gulf of Aden, and the other is in parallel to the eastern margin of the Red Sea coast.
The petrogenesis of such a type of intrusion provides additional information on the origin of the Oligo-Miocene magmatic activity
in relation to the rifting tectonics and evolution of this part of the Arabian Shield. |
