Persian Gulf...geology From the peak of the glaciation until about 14 000 yr BP the Gulf is free of marine influence out to the edge of the Biaban Shelf. By 14 000 yr BP the Strait of Hormuz had opened up as a narrow waterway and by about 12 500 years ago the marine incursion into the Central Basin had started. The Western Basin flooded about 1000 years later. Momentary stillstands may have occurred during the Gulf flooding phase at about 11 300 and 10 500 yr BP. The present shorelines was reached shortly before 6000 yr ago and exceeded as relative sea level rose 1–2 m above its present level, inundating the low-lying areas of lower Mesopotamia. sciencedirect.com
