Egypt: descriptive, historical, and picturesque.
Micropaleontology can be roughly divided into four areas of study on the basis of microfossil composition: (a) calcareous, as in coccoliths and foraminifera, (b) phosphatic, as in the study of some vertebrates, (c) siliceous, as in diatoms and radiolaria, or (d) organic, as in the pollen and spores studied in palynology. This division reflects differences in the mineralogical and chemical.
The Bahariya Depression is located near the central part of the Western Desert of Egypt where it shows elliptical geometry surrounded by a carbonate plateau mainly formed of Eocene rock units in its northern part.The Eocene stratigraphy, especially of the Middle to Upper Eocene formations in the Bahariya region has been a matter of dispute (Issawi et al., 2009).
PREFACE. Excepting those which have appeared as articles in periodicals during the last eight years, the essays here gathered together were originally re-published in separate volumes at long intervals. The first volume appeared in December 1857; the second in November 1863; and the third in February 1874. By the time the original editions of the first two had been sold, American reprints.
These nummulites made shoals and banks behind which due to low energy protected setting in place deposition of calcareous sponge, Lockhartia, and nummulites occurred. Upwards, the nummulites gradual decrease and environments further shallow up resulting into the deposition of parallel laminated bioclastic limestone in inner ramp to intertidal environments.
The Oligo-Miocen Asmari Formation is the most important oil reservoir in Iran. This study deals with facies associations, sedimentary environments and sequence stratigraphy of this formation in Masjed-I-Solyman oil field by using petrographical studies and statistical analysis. These findings show that studied succession belongs to the upper Asmari Formation (Bordigalian) with nine microfacies.
The sedimentological study proved the existence of matrix microporosity, an intergranular porosity between Nummulite tests and an intragranular porosity within Nummulites which is effective only when affected by microfractures (meso- to macroporosities). For Lower Reineche limestones, integration of sedimentological, RCA, FMI and CMR studies.
ISF: The Course Information The 2020 ISF will take place between 3rd-22nd June. Course Description The Course on Foraminifera is designed to provide an overview of the Taxonomy, Ecology, Biodiversity, and Geological History of Benthic and Planktonic Foraminifera. This intensive course is intended for students interested in Micropalaeontology, Palaeoceanography, Palaeoecology, Climate History.
