The Impact Of Eustasy, Tectonics, And Paleoclimate On The Dolomitization Of The Syn-Rift Neogene Carbonate Platforms In The Red Sea Coastal Area, Egypt, Abdallah Mohammed Hassan
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
A very significant quantity of dolomites and dolomitic limestones of variable origins occurs in the syn-rift Neogene carbonate platforms of the NW Red Sea coast and the Gulf of Suez. These are more common in the Um Diheisi Member of the Ranga Formation (early Miocene), the Um Mahara Formation (middle Miocene), the Um Gheig Formation (late Miocene), and the Dashet El Dabaa Member of the Shagra Formation (Pliocene). Based on their stratigraphic distribution, petrography, and cathodoluminescent characteristics, as supported by geochemical data, syn-rift irregular morphotectonic relief, and the eustasy, four distinct types of dolomites have been identified and were interpreted …

The Mount Sabalan district is regarded as the best place to investigate geothermal activities in northwest Iran. Since the last episode of volcanic activity in the Plio-Quaternary time, hot springs and surficial steams as conspicuous manifestation of geothermal activities have appeared around the slopes of Mount Sabalan. The hot fluids circulating in this geothermal field contains anions chiefly of HCO3- and Cl-; however, SO42- content in some water samples is relatively high, imparting sulfate characteristics to such fluids. Geothermometric studies provided compelling evidence for estimation of the reservoir temperature (~150 °C) in the study areas. Thus, in this respect, the …
