Additional Information: Funding Information: Drilling and research in the Oman Drilling Project were supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (in association with the Deep Carbon Observatory, DCO), the International Continental scientific Drilling Program (ICDP), US National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Grant NSF-EAR-1516300, the Japanese Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC), Grant No. 16H06347 from the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, including the Rock Powered Life NASA Astrobiology Institute (NNA15BB02 A), the European Science Foundation, the German Science Foundation, the Swiss Science Foundation, and the International Ocean Discovery Program (aka International Ocean Drilling Program, IODP). Kelemen's research was also supported with funds from the Arthur D. Storke Chair at Columbia University. In addition to the authors of this paper, a huge team contributed to the success of OmanDP, including drilling and core analyses at Hole BT1B. In Oman, a Project Supervisory Committee chaired by Dr. Said Al Habsi (Director General of Water Resources Assessment in the Ministry of Regional Municipalities and Water Resources), and including Prof. Sobhi Nasir at Sultan Qaboos University, Dr. Ali Al Rajhi, Director of the Geological Survey of Oman, and others, ensured that the project went forward smoothly in accordance with Omani requirements. At Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), Dr. Hamad Shuaili and Dr. Hisham Siyabi kindly facilitated storage of the archive half of all OmanDP core. We particularly thank Dr. Jay Miller and Dr. Brad Clement at IODP TAMU for making the online proceedings volume possible, and Shana Lewis, Rhonda Kappler, Jean Wulfson, Phil Rumford, Lorri Peters, Crystal Wolfe and Kenneth Sherar at IODP TAMU for editorial assistance in preparing the Proceedings of the Oman Drilling Project, more or less following IODP protocols in presenting the results of this decidedly non-standard ICDP project. We thank the technical staff onboard Drilling Vessel Chikyu for fantastic, efficient support and advice over four months in summers 2017 and 2018, especially Lena Maeda, Dr. Yusuke Kubo, and Dr. Chiaki Igarashi. Dr. Nobu Eguchi served as a patient, generous liaison between OmanDP, NSF and JAMSTEC. Core description onboard Chikyu would have been impossible without proactive support from JAMSTEC President Asahiko Taira and NSF Program Director Leonard Johnson. Similarly, we received essential assistance with borehole permitting from Professor Ali Al Bemani, Vice Chancellor of Sultan Qaboos University. On a different timescale, we are deeply indebted to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said for his open-door policy for scientific research in Oman, and to Professors Françoise Boudier, Bob Coleman, Cliff Hopson and Adolphe Nicolas for establishing the framework for modern studies of the Samail ophiolite. Suggestions from Othmar Müntener, an anonymous reviewer, and Associate Editor John Lassiter led to substantial improvements of this paper.
