Larger benthic foraminifera from the Middle Eocene
Larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) are common and diverse throughout the Paleogene sediments of southern Tanzania, but have previously been little studied. A recent programme of onshore drilling known as the Tanzania Drilling Project has recovered large proportion of this succession for palaeoclimatic and palaeontological study. The sediment is largely a hemipelagic clay with secondary gravity s...
متن کاملAnthropoid humeri from the late Eocene of Egypt.
A number of recent studies have, by necessity, placed a great deal of emphasis on the dental evidence for Paleogene anthropoid interrelationships, but cladistic analyses of these data have led to the erection of phylogenetic hypotheses that appear to be at odds with biogeographic and stratigraphic considerations. Additional morphological data from the cranium and postcranium of certain poorly u...
متن کاملAnatomy of a mountain: The Thebes Limestone Formation (Lower Eocene) at Gebel Gurnah, Luxor, Nile Valley, Upper Egypt
We present a detailed geologic study of the Thebes Formation at Gebel Gurnah in its locus typicus on the West Bank (opposite Luxor) of the Nile River in the Upper Nile Valley, Egypt. This is the first detailed measurement and lithologic description of the ~340 m thick (predominantly) carbonate section. The Thebes Formation is divided into thirteen major lithic units (A to M). We interpret data ...
متن کاملPost-depositional Changes of the Lower-middle Eocene Limestones of the Area between Assiut and Minia, West of the Nile Valley, Egypt
The diagenetic changes of the Lower-Middle Eocene limestones in the area to the west of AssiutMinia Stretch include the following processes: compaction, cementation, neomorphism, silicification, glauconitization and ferrugination. The compaction is represented by mechanical and chemical types. Cementation is either shallow submarine (represented by micrite, fibrous calcite and isopachous calcit...
