| Bed 7b - Gebel Gharra section, Suez | Mandic O., Piller W.E. (2001) | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: No lithostratigraphic unit named in text. Due to rapid lateral facies changes lithostratigraphic classification is widely unclear and controversial (Abdelghany and Piller 1999). AGE: Burdigalian, as indicated by foraminiferal biostratigraphy - Miogypsina = M2-M4 following Berggren et al. 1995, and NH4 after martinin 1971; upper part of SB 25 after Cahuzac and Poignant 1997. THICKNESS: From individual bed (<1 m) within 140 m thick section. | sandstone | 20.44 - 15.97 Ma Miocene | |
| Bed 8c - Gebel Gharra section, Suez | Mandic O., Piller W.E. (2001) | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: No lithostratigraphic unit named in text.
