Depositional environments and sequence architecture of the Raha and Abu Qada formations (Cenomanian–Turonian), west central Sinai, Egypt

Mid-late Cenomanian larger benthic foraminifers from the El Abra Formation, Valles-San Luis Potosí Platform, central-eastern Mexico: Taxonomy, biostratigraphy and paleoenvironmental implications

“…Remarks: Daxia cenomana differs from Daxia minima Laug and Peybernès (1979) of the Aptian (Pyrénées Basco-Béarnaises), in its larger size, thinner septa and sutures less depressed in equatorial section. Occurrence: Daxia cenomana is considered a typical Tethysian species (Schroeder and Neumann, 1985), and has been recorded in France (Cuvillier and Szakall, 1949;Neumann, 1965;Bilotte, 1984), Spain (Calonge and Caus, 1996;Gräfe, 2005;Barroso, 2004;Caus et al, 2009), Portugal (Berthou, 1984b;Berthou and Lauverjat, 1979), and Egypt (Ismail et al, 2009;Anan et al, 2013). VSLPP, it was recorded in the Llanos del Carmen, Cerritos, and Temazcal sections.…”

Palynology of the Cenomanian Raha Formation, Gulf of Suez, Egypt: Biostratigraphical, palaeoenvironmental and palaeobiogeographical implications

“…The Cenomanian Raha Formation and its equivalents all over Egypt have been deposited in a shallow marine environment during the major Cenomanian transgression (Kerdany and Cherif, 1990;Schütz, 1994;Anan et al, 2013;El Fawal et al, 2014). The qualitative and quantitative analyses of POM constituents encountered within the Raha Formation indicate three depositional palaeoenvironmental settings.…”

Depositional Trends and Sedimentary Environments of the Cenomanian-Turonian Sediments along G. Nezzazat-G. Ekma, South-West Sinai, Egypt

“…The position of Egypt at that time was 10 0 north of the Equator, within the low latitude belts (20 0 north and south) that are primary sites for carbonate production [3]. Sinai was a broad carbonate shelf with episodic intercalations of siliciclastic deposits on the passive margin of the southern Tethys Sea [9].…”
