Extensional tectonics and facies distribution in the Gulf of Suez

Conference · · AAPG Bull.; (United States)

;
The Gulf of Suez is an asymmetric Miocene rift 80 km wide inits dentral part. The main fault blocks of the central sector, Esh El Mellaha and Gebel Zeit are believed to link into an easterly dipping crustal megashear. In this paper, the geologic history of the tectonics and the carbonate sedimentation patterns are discussed.
