Stylolites are ubiquitous geo-patterns observed in rocks in the upper crust, from geological
reservoirs in sedimentary rocks to deformation zones, in folds, faults, and shear zones …

The onset and evolution of the Dead Sea transform are re-evaluated based on new in situ U-
Pb dating and strain analyses of mechanically twinned calcites. Direct dating of 30 syn …

Brittle microtectonics as defined here is the application of mesofracture analysis to the
solution of tectonic problems. For the determination of regionally significant stress or strain …

The late Paleozoic to Tertiary stratigraphic record of much of the African plate reflects the
effects of continental rifting and passive margin development. Several short-lived, but …

Six distinctive tectonic episodes punctuate the stratigraphic record of the Gulf of Suez area.
These episodes include the Pan-African event (late Proterozoic), which resulted in the …

The in-situ stress fields are of great importance in the interpretation of tectonic features and
the analysis of hydrocarbon systems. In this work, we determine the in-situ stress field, pore …

Abstract During the Mesozoic the Egyptian margin was an oblique margin with NW–SE
oriented transform fault system. In the Eastern Mediterranean basin, Mesozoic margins were …

The Northeast African–Arabian plate formed a segment of the passive margins of,
successively, the Paleotethys and the Neotethys. During the Paleozoic, rifting events were …

Geometric analysis shows that motion of sets of strike‐slip faults should cause block rotation;
otherwise the distorted fault domain would not fit with its surrounding. The sense of the block …

Abstract The Gulf of Suez is a Neogene rift which has evolved as one arm of the Sinai triple
junction together with the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea. Backstripping of well data in the …
