Scientific paper

East-west-trending magnetic and gravity anomalies across central Israel have been interpreted as being related to lateral lithological changes in crustal rocks, from a low-magnetization and relatively lower-density rock type in the south, into a higher-magnetization, higher-density rock type in the north. The zone of the interpreted lithological discontinuity is associated with significant variations in stratigraphic thickness, which suggest that the magnetic and gravity anomalies mark a fossil edge of the Arabian-African continent in contact with the Tethyan crust. Seismic reflection profiles indicate that the minimum age of the formation of the Tethyan crust is probably pre-Late Jurassic.
