The sheeted dike complex is a regionally mappable geologic unit with a consistent position in the Samail ophiolite stratigraphy. Discontinuous exposures of the complex in the Ibra area of the southeast Oman Mountains provide structural data that allow reconstruction of a paleo-spreading ridge axis of 347° for the region and suggests a maximum spreading width of 275 km for the ophiolite. Contact relations within the well-exposed Al Ahmadi section indicate that the complex was formed by multiple parallel intrusion over a narrow zone at the paleo-ridge axis. Split dikes are abundant; facing directions indicate a spreading ridge southwest of the present outcrop area, in conflict with other spreading axis direction indicators.
