Abstract
ABSTRACT
The area under study lies in the Eastern Desert of Egypt to the east of Qena city. It
is enclosed between latitudes 25
50′
42.58″ E & 33

o
58′ 3.79″ N & 26
19′ 60″ N and longitudes 32

14′ 60″ E, with moderate terrain except at zones of Thebes Formation and
Taref sandstone, the topographic values range from 73 – 655 meters asl. It drew
attentions due to the presence of the considerable and remarkable exposures of the Duwi
Formation and Dakhla shale, while these formations are enriched with radioactive
minerals as interbeds of the uranium bearing phosphates. the surface geological settings
of the study area show sedimentary rocks range in age from cretaceous (pre-Campanian)
to Holocene sediments cover the whole area, with no igneous outcropping, while the
structural settings delineate that the main trend of the surface lineaments mainly related
to NE-SW, NNW-SSE and NW-SE directions.
