Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The area between Idfu and Assuit (between latitudes 25° and
27°N and longitudes 31° and 33°E) is mostly covered by Early Eocene
carbonate rocks. In the neighbourhood of Idfu, Luxor and Qena, however,
Cretaceous beds (Nubian sandstone and shale) crop out in limited locations.
The Nile Valley itself is composed of sediments of post-Pliocene age
(Fig. 1 ). Within these sediments a number of early Pleistocene carbonates
(referred to as travertine) are known to overlie Pliocene sediments m
several Wadis, especially between Qena and Sohag. The following ts
a brief review of previous work carried out on the carbonate rocks
occurring on both sides of the Nile Valley between Idfu and Assuit
