Journal Article
Beckert, J., Vandeginste, V., & John, C. M. (2016). Relationship between karstification and burial dolomitization in Permian platform carbonates (Lower Khuff - Oman). Sedimentary Geology, 342, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sedgeo.2016.07.001

Large breccia fabrics associated with karst constitute an important structure in massive limestone successions. The dimensions and shapes of breccia structures are controlled by the initial fracture pattern of the limestone and preferential pathways...
