Geology of Egypt and Libya [Hardcover]

Treating the geology of Egypt and Libya as one entity, this unquestionably thorough text is divided into six parts covering the following key areas:

? the tectonic framework of Egypt and Libya and the main tectonic elements in the two countries
? the geology of the Pan-African Shield
? the Phanerozoic stratigraphy of Egypt, with a review of the stratigraphic nomenclature
? a review of the stratigraphy of Libya
? a synthesis of the geological evolution of Egypt and Libya, and how this fits into global tectonics and sea-level fluctuations.
? a bibliographic list of more than 2000 references used in the compilation of the book.
