Appendix VI: Geology

Figure 12-1 (on this and the previous page): Geological maps of the areas about 100 km (approximately one degree of longitude of lattitide) around Berenike, on the Egyptian Red Sea coast, and Tabot, in the Sudanese Eastern Desert.

Modified after the 1987 Geological Map of Egypt, prepared by Conoco Coral and the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (Cairo), and the 1981 Geological Map of Sudan, prepared by the Geological and Mineral Resource Department (Khartoum), the Saudi-Sudanese Red Sea Joint Commission and the Bureau de Recherches Géologique et Minières (Orléans). The circular edges of the maps should not be interpreted as the limit of the possible production areas of Eastern Desert Ware.
