Popis: The Abu Ballas Formation in the Western Desert of Egypt represents a marine intercalation within fluvial, Nubia-type sandstones. These deposits document an extensive transgression of Aptian age flooding the Dakhla Basin from north to south. Due to this first advance of the Tethyan sea during the Cretaceous, sediments of open and marginal marine provenance were accumulated in the SE of the basin.
