Abstract
Vitrinite reflectance and fission-track age determinations (apatite, zircon, and sphene) from three deep boreholes in the Har HaNegev area, southern Israel, have been integrated for reconstruction of the thermal history. Drill holes, Ramon 1, Makhtesh Qatan 2, and Kurnub 1, each sited in the core of a separate breached anticline (``makhtesh''), penetrated a discontinuous Early Permian to Mesozoic sedimentary succession unconformably overlying a Precambrian arkosic and igneous complex. Post-Early Permian burial history was reconstructed from borehole data and regional stratigraphy.
