Geology of Egypt and Libya

<p>Treating the geology of Egypt and Libya as one entity, this unquestionably thorough text is divided into six parts covering the following key areas: <br><br>· the tectonic framework of Egypt and Libya and the main tectonic elements in the two countries<br>· the geology of the Pan-African Shield<br>· the Phanerozoic stratigraphy of Egypt, with a review of the stratigraphic nomenclature<br>· a review of the stratigraphy of Libya<br>· a synthesis of the geological evolution of Egypt and Libya, and how this fits into global tectonics and sea-level fluctuations. <br>· a bibliographic list of more than 2000 references used in the compilation of the book.</p> <p>Preface; Acknowledgements;</p><p><strong>Part 1: Tectonic framework of Egypt and Libya</strong></p><ul> <li>1.
