The syn-rift Miocene siliciclastic sediments of Sidri-Feiran area on the eastern side of the Gulf of Suez provide an excellent example for the tectonics, paleoclimate and provenance control on sedimentation in rifted regions. Field relationships, grain size analysis, microscopic investigation, heavy and light mineralogy, and X-ray diffraction analysis of the clay minerals have revealed that:1) the siliciclastic sediments of the ...
