Rift development in the Gulf of Suez and the north-western Red Sea: structural aspects and related sedimentary processes

This research dealt with the development of Egypt's Ptolemaic relations with Rome and took the appearance of its development and the increasing interest of the Romans in the affairs of Egypt. The Ptolemaic state and its fall in the hands of the Romans year 30 BC, represented by the State of Egypt on the continent of Africa and its borders extending from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea in the east and the deserts of Libya in the west and Nubia in the south and using the historical and analytical method based on linking historical events and facts with each other and analysis starting from a historical prelude is a presentation of the by collecting historical evidence and linking them together and presenting them correctly in their connotations which enabled the Romans to reach the goal of times the kingdoms of the East, including Egypt, so that they could conquer them by building Diplomatic relations during the early Ptolemaic era under the Treaty of Friendship between Rome and Egypt Over time, it turned into a policy of protection and then a policy of appointing and isolating the Ptolemaic kings, taking advantage of the conflict in the Ptolemaic House. The study recommends the need to study the urban side during that period as well as the cultural aspect.

SummaryIn this work, radiochemical analysis results of 126 unrecrystallized coral samples from the Egyptian shoreline of northwestern Red Sea and 120 fossil mollusk shell samples from the Atlantic coast of Moroccan High Atlas at the North of Agadir City in Morocco are presented and discussed. The coral samples were collected in Egypt from the emerged coral reef terraces over 500 km from The Ras Gharib-Ras Shukeir depression (28°10') in the north to Wadi Lahami (north of Ras Banas, 24°10') in the south. The fossil mollusk shells were collected in Morocco from Agadir-Harbour in the south to Tamri village in the north extending over about 50 km. The statistical distributions of results (For corals,For mollusk shells, except for Holocene sea level,

A New Species

A new zooxanthellate reef-dwelling scleractinian coral species, Porites fontanesii sp. nov. (Scleractinia, Poritidae), is de-scribed. The examined material was collected from the Southern Red Sea, the Gulf of Tadjoura, and the Gulf of Aden.Porites fontanesii sp. nov. was most frequently observed along the Yemen south Red Sea and the north-western Gulf ofAden coasts. Although a complete molecular phylogeny of Porites is not available yet, the relationships between P. fon-tanesii sp. nov. and twenty other species of the genus were explored through analysis of the available rDNA sequences.Porites fontanesii sp. nov. was seen to be a distinct species basal to, and well divergent from, one of the two main clades so far identified in the genus rDNA phylogeny.
