商品描述
This book presents the following geological contributions in Ediacaran and Paleozoic rocks. 1) It introduces four new rock units for the first time, the Ediacaran El Urf Formation (volcanoclastic sediments in the central Eastern Desert), the Ediacaran Abu Haswa Formation (stromatolitic dolostone in southwestern Sinai), the Early Permian Wadi Dome Formation (mixed clastics and carbonates in the west of Suez Gulf) and the Early Permian Misawag Formation (in the subsurface, northwestern Desert), 2) making correlation of the Ediacaran rock units with the corresponding rock units in Libya, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, 3) linking the exposed Paleozoic rock units with their equivalent rock units in subsurface in northwestern desert, 4) correlating the Paleozoic rock units with the equivalent rock units in adjacent countries, e. g. Libya, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, 5) manifesting the possible depositional environments of the Ediacaran andPaleozoic rock units.
Additionally, it offers an important unique geological information about the Ediacaran and Paleozoic rock units in Egypt. It unifies the nomenclature of Paleozoic rock units that take numerous names for the same geological time. It obsoletes the formation names that do not follow the rules of the North American stratigraphic code (1983) for rock units' nomenclature. It provides the target audience illustrations, e.g. field photographs for the exposed rock units that save efforts and time for audience (undergraduate, post-graduate, researchers and professional) to reach to the original localities of each rock units. It provides the audience with schematic diagrams that exhibit the link between the exposed and subsurface rock units all over the Egyptian territory. It describes the following topics of each rock unit: definition, stratigraphic contact, lithological characteristics, faunal and floral associations that are used for the identification of the possible age, correlation with corresponding rock units in adjacent countries, e.g. Libya, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia and the possible depositional environments for each rock units.The book is a fundamental source of an updated version of the information in the field to the undergraduate, graduate, researchers, professional, practitioners and policy planning elsewhere.

本書介紹了在埃迪卡拉紀和古生代岩石中的以下地質貢獻。1) 首次引入四個新的岩石單元，包括埃迪卡拉紀的El Urf組（位於東部沙漠中部的火山碎屑沉積物）、埃迪卡拉紀的Abu Haswa組（位於西南西奈的叠層石白雲岩）、早二叠紀的Wadi Dome組（位於蘇伊士灣西部的混合碎屑岩和碳酸鹽岩）以及早二叠紀的Misawag組（位於地下的西北沙漠），2) 將埃迪卡拉紀岩石單元與利比亞、約旦、伊拉克和沙烏地阿拉伯的相應岩石單元進行對比，3) 將暴露的古生代岩石單元與西北沙漠地下的等效岩石單元聯繫起來，4) 將古生代岩石單元與鄰近國家的等效岩石單元進行對比，例如利比亞、約旦、伊拉克和沙烏地阿拉伯，5) 顯示埃迪卡拉紀和古生代岩石單元可能的沉積環境。
此外，本書提供了有關埃及埃迪卡拉紀和古生代岩石單元的重要獨特地質資訊。它統一了古生代岩石單元的命名，因為這些單元在同一地質時期有多個名稱。它廢除了不遵循北美地層學代碼（1983年）岩石單元命名規則的地層名稱。它為目標讀者提供了插圖，例如暴露岩石單元的實地照片，幫助讀者（本科生、研究生、研究人員和專業人士）更輕鬆地找到每個岩石單元的原始位置。它還提供了示意圖，展示了埃及全境暴露和地下岩石單元之間的聯繫。每個岩石單元的描述包括：定義、地層接觸、岩石特徵、用於識別可能年齡的動植物聯合、與鄰近國家相應岩石單元的對比（例如利比亞、約旦、伊拉克和沙烏地阿拉伯）以及每個岩石單元的可能沉積環境。
本書是本科生、研究生、研究人員、專業人士、實務工作者和其他地區政策規劃者在該領域最新資訊的重要基本來源。
作者簡介
Mohamed A. Khalifa received his B.S. in geology from Geology Department, Cairo University in 1972, obtained a master's degree in geology from the Faculty of Science, Cairo University in 1977, and received his Ph. D. in sedimentology and stratigraphy from Faculty of Science, Cairo University in 1981. From 1973 to 1978, he worked at the Egyptian Geological Survey. During this period, he drew geological maps using aerial photographs and made a regional correlation of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic rock stratigraphic units in the Western and Eastern Deserts. From 1995 to 1999, he taught at geography department, Imam Mohamed ben Saud University at Al Qassim branch. From 2009 to 2015, he taught at Geology Department, Omar Al Mokhtar University (Libya) at Topruck branch. So far, he has published 87 research papers in the fields of sedimentology, stratigraphy, diagenesis, cyclicity and sequence stratigraphy of the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic rocks from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Jordon. He introduced five stratigraphic rock units in the Egyptian geology (Campanian Ain Giffara, Turonian Naqb Es Sillim, Turonian Khashm El Galala, Lower Eocene Nashfa and Pliocene El Reis formations). Of note, he introduced a new rock unit in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras in Al Qassim Province, Saudi Arabia (Lower Ordovician Anz, Permian Al Watah, Permo-Triassic Al Arid, Upper Triassic Al Adgham and Upper Triassic the Rukhman formations). He is now an emeritus professor at Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Menoufia University, Shiben El Kom, Egypt.

Mohamed A. Khalifa於1972年在開羅大學地質系獲得地質學學士學位，1977年在開羅大學科學學院獲得地質學碩士學位，並於1981年在開羅大學科學學院獲得沉積學和地層學博士學位。1973年至1978年間，他在埃及地質調查局工作。在此期間，他利用航空照片繪製地質圖，並對西部和東部沙漠的中生代和新生代岩石地層單元進行了區域性對比。1995年至1999年，他在阿爾卡西姆分校的伊瑪目穆罕默德·本·沙烏德大學地理系任教。2009年至2015年，他在利比亞奧馬爾·阿爾·穆赫塔爾大學（Topruck分校）地質系任教。至今，他已在沉積學、地層學、成岩作用、循環性及古生代、中生代和新生代岩石的地層學序列等領域發表了87篇研究論文。他在埃及地質學中引入了五個地層岩單元（Campanian Ain Giffara、Turonian Naqb Es Sillim、Turonian Khashm El Galala、下始新世Nashfa和上新世El Reis地層）。值得注意的是，他在沙烏地阿拉伯阿爾卡西姆省的古生代和中生代引入了一個新的岩單元（下奧陶紀Anz、二疊紀Al Watah、二疊紀-三疊紀Al Arid、上三疊紀Al Adgham和上三疊紀Rukhman地層）。他目前是埃及梅努菲亞大學科學學院地質系的名譽教授。
