We are interested in the possibility that the organic substances postulated by Hamilton and Greenfield may be the same material as that which occurs in the Recent carbonate sediments of the Trucial Coast of the Persian Gulf, which is tentatively assumed to be a mucilaginous secretion of blue-green algae.

It is 130 km long and 8 to 16 km wide. The east end is intertidal and terminates in a complex of shoals and channels. The west end is 25 m deep and is connected to the Persian Gulf. The lagoon is bounded on the north by an offshore bank, seaward shoals, and open sea. An essentially intertidal coastal terrace and a mainland plain lie on the landward side of the lagoon.
