Egyptian Hammamat molasse basins and their relations to arc collision stages: Implications for radioactive elements mineralization potential

Abstract: Our understanding of the formation style and tectonic setting of Hammamat molasse sedimentary rocks (HMSR) as well as their chronological situation in the legend of the geologic maps is as yet deficient. The purpose of the work is to decipher the misinterpretation of the HMSR genesis. As such, we present a new classification for HMSR that provides answers about its significant field relationships with the mature island arc volcanics that obviously explains the changes in the depositional environments of HMSR, … Show more

“…Hammamat sediments are widely distributed and cropped out in several localities forming large isolated exposures. Fowler and Osman (2013) and Dessouky et al (2019) mentioned that the Hammamat sediments are regionally folded into a major syncline forming a narrow elongated basin trending NW-SE. In the southern part of the basin, minor syncline-anticline folds are observed.…”

“…The Hammamat molasse of the ENS were developed between 650 and 580 Ma in individual basins in a variety of tectonic settings (Fritz and Messner, 1996;Shalaby et al, 2006;. Dessouky et al (2019) indicated that the Hammamat molasse sediments have been deposited during three tectonic settings: (i) precollision stage, comprising fore-arc, intra-arc and back-arc basins, (ii) syn-collision stage including fore-arc basins and lowland basins and (iii) late collision stage embracing lowland and intramontane basins.…”
