Abstract The palaeoenvironments of the upper Palaeozoic succession in eastern foot slopes Northern Galala Plateau, west Gulf Suez, Egypt, are interpreted based on a detailed study sequence-stratigraphic framework, sedimentary facies and trace fossils. Carboniferous–lower Permian Aheimer Formation has been studied its type section exposed Wadi Aheimer. Three unconformities bound four 3rd-order d...

Depositional systems accumulating under the combined influence of along-slope currents and downslope sediment-gravity flows are frequent in several continental margins. Despite being well-documented terms how these opposing depositional processes shape margin architecture, many aspects related to their interaction distinctive characters resulting sediment accumulations remain elusive. Here we f...

In the Ennedi Plateau, northeastern Chad, Cambrian(?)–Ordovician to Carboniferous strata represent one of most proximal succession north-facing Gondwana platform. This study presents preliminary results related c. 200 m-thick Lower Sandstones and overlying Bedo Formation, which essentially record Early Middle Ordovician flooding events end-Ordovician glaciation subsequent deglaciation. Sandston...

The bi-gradational sequence (C1-C5) is the standard facies model for fine-grained, mixed mud-sand contourites. Drilling in Gulf of Cadiz during IODP 339 recovered over 4.5 km contourites with 1600 distinct contourite sequences, having an average thickness 3 m (range 0.5–7.5 m). This study documents past 1.1 My succession at Site U1389, which there are a total 299 full and partial variable 0.13–...
