Popis:	Limestones and evaporites are the main rock types constituting the exposed Middle Miocene sediments of the Red Sea coastal zone between Quseir and Mersa Alam. These rocks represent typical conekarst and karst ridge landforms with minor surface and subsurface solution features. Mechanical, chemical and biogenic precipitates are the main recognized karst sediments. Oxides and sulphides of iron, lead and zinc and barite are also found in association with the karst features and karst products. The obtained observations elaborate the rule of the structure and lithologic characters of the country rocks and the paleoclimatic fluctuation on the formation of the karst features and the related precipitates.
