Comparison of lithofacies of the Miocene Dubar Limestone in the Bosaso and Lasqoray Basins, Northern Somalia

ABSTRACT

The Bosaso and Lasqoray Basins are located in northern Somalia. They formed in the Oligocene as a result of post-Eocene continental rifting along the African and Arabian plate boundary forming the present Gulf of Aden.
