Geological paper presented at the Sixth Arab Petroleum Congress, exploring a newly discovered carboniferous occurence in Abu Durba on the Sinai Peninsula. The paper argues that this was the first discovery to suggest the occurence of Permian rocks in the area. The detailed plates comprise geologic maps of the Sinai, detailing various percentages of rock types, including sandstone, shale, and limestone. The folding plates depict stratigraphic correlation between several research areas, and a columnar section of the palaeozoic fomations in Abu Durba.
