The goal of the Stratigraphy project of the STRATAFORM program is to understand the creation of the preserved stratigraphic record on continental shelves and slopes as the product of physical processes acting with spatial and temporal heterogeneities. I am using numerical models to provide insight into the formation and preservation of stratigraphic sequences at margins. My goal is to obtain a ...

Abstract The present study deals with microfacies analysis, paleoecology and sequence stratigraphy of the Lower–Middle Eocene rocks in central Nile Valley west-central Sinai. Four rock units were marked (Minia, Darat, Samalut Maghagha formations). Eight facies belts interpreted including lagoon, back bank, main fore bank open marine outer deposited on a gently dipping platform ramp. This ramp m...
