INTERIOR CAVITIES AND EXTERIOR SURFACE TEXTURE OF DETRITAL
QUARTZ OF SOME EGYPTIAN CLASTIC SEDIMENTS

M. Mahmoud Kholief*

*Petroleum Research Institute, Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt.

Abstract

Cavities of freshly-fractured surface and the exterior surface texture of detrital quartz grains were examined and photographed with the help of the scanning-electron microscope at different magnifications. Three formations of Egyptian clastic sediments are used for this purpose namely: (a) Carboniferous sandstone of west-central Sinai, (b) the so-called Nubian sandstone of Early Cretaceous(?) age from southern Egypt, and (c) Oligocene sand accumulations from the vicinity of Cairo.
