PETROLEUM SYSTEM OF SHOUSHAN BASIN, WESTERN DESERT, EGYPT

Hydrocarbon Potentials in the Northern Western Desert of Egypt

Petroleum System of the Gippsland Basin, Australia

The Gippsland Basin Province 3930, located on the southeastern coast of Australia, is formed from two successive failed rifts that developed into a passive margin during the Cretaceous. Formation of this basin is related to the break up of Gondwana, which resulted in the separation of Antarctica from Australia, and the separation of the New Zealand and Lord Howe Rise continental crust from Aust...

Extensional collapse along the Sevier Desert reflection , northern Sevier Desert basin , western United

Coogan and DeCelles (1996) provided a welcome addition to the debate on the Sevier Desert reflection. The evidence and arguments presented on the nature of this subsurface feature merit particular scrutiny, as they bear directly on a firstorder issue in tectonics: the mechanical paradox of low-angle normal faults. Field geologists have argued that in some cases such faults must have moved at di...

Preliminary Analysis of Color Variations of Sand Deposits in the Western Desert of Egypt

Astronaut observations and photographs of color variations in the Western Desert of Egypt are related to both iron oxide coalings on individual grains and the presence of locally derived material in the sand deposits. The results of four field trips, to Baharîya Oasis, Sîwa Oasis, Khârga and Dakhla Oases, and the Great Sand Sea, enable more detailed interpretations of colors photographed during...
