Abstract
pathologic characterstics and the faunal content of the
r Formation refleot the depositioii in fairly shallow marine
foment •
The uppermost unit of the Pliocene section is the Shagra *tion. This unit is represented by calcareous sandstones, limestones and reefal limestones. It indicates the st fossilifrous beds in the studied section. The lower is dominated by oysters and pectinids, while the upper is flooded with clyea3teroid echinid tests, especially ypeaster and Laganum. The development of reefal facies h this unit indicates a shallow, marine, warm water con» with minor terrignous influx from the hentrland. SjftjB
pie section is topped by two successive organic reefs, fossilifrous with corals, echinoid and molluscan fauna.
he systematic study of the recent shells collected from lit part along the Red Sea Coast, between Mrsa Alain and «LV/in area, shows their close similarity with Pleistocene fcnd to some extent with the studied Pliocene fauna» This ^af the thesis will be helpful for any forthcoming study »ag, The paleontology and stratigraphy of the Pliocene fistocene outcrops along the Red Sea Coast.
