| Macrofossils, The Marada Formation represents a single depositional cycle that has evolved through transgression, still-stand, and regressive eustatic events that were overprinted by minor basinal tecton- ics. The terminal phase of the regressive events was marked by development of an unconformity that extends throughout north- east Africa (El-Hawat, 1980). Mastera (1985) divided the Marada Formation into two members: the Aquitanian–Burdigalian Garat Jahanam Member and the Aquitanian–Serravallian Ar-Rahlah Member, but ostracod faunas indicated a younger age for the upper part of the formation, extending it to the Tortonian age (Gammudi, 1996). | ||
