Popis:	The Lower Carboniferous Um Bogma Formation in west-central Sinai, Egypt displays extensive and pervasive dolomitization. The combined petrographic/isotopic/stratigraphic investigations of the dolomite succession in the studied area reveal the presence of two distinct dolomite types: dolomite type (I) is confined to the basal part of the succession being associated with economic ferro-manganese deposits, and dolomite type (II) is located near the upper part of the succession. Silt, clay and marl beds vertically separate the two dolomitic units.
