Abstract : A 46 km gravity profile (based on 24 gravity stations) was established over the Tethyitn crust exposed along the Emirates coast of the Gulf of Oman from Diba to 8 km south of Khor Fakhan. A Bouguer gravity anomaly of about 30 mGal is noted across the profile which is interpreted in terms of shape and mass distribution of concealed part of the obducted nappe. A maximum gravity value was found over the maximum thickness of the nappe near Dadnah. Local gravity variations are interpreted as related to varyingly serpentinized portions of the main Semail peridotite. The geologic modelling of gravity values correlates well in terms of known thi.cknessesw ith the mappable ophiolite units of northern Oman
