Structural setting, facies characteristics, and geochemical aspects of the Middle-Upper Eocene outcrops along Beni Suef-El Zaafarana New Road, east of Beni Suef, Egypt

Abstract

he Eocene epoch is distinguished by the development of a carbonate platform covering a large area of Egypt. These Eocene carbonates are widespread in the eastern Beni Suef region of Egypt. In the present work, the lithostratigraphy, structural setting, petrography, geochemistry
