“…Further, the amount of clastic sediments depends upon the seasons and water discharges. Using these parameters, a classification of three major lake deposit groups has been identified on Earth: clastic lake deposits, chemical lake deposits, and biogenic lake deposits (Twenhofel 1950, Smith 1968, Picard and High 1972, Hutchinson 1975, Lerman 1978, Matter and Tucker 1978, Horie 1978, Reineck and Singh 1980, Einsele 1992.…”

“…Carbonates form in a range of environments and under varied climatic conditions (for example, Picard & High, 1974;Dean & Gorham, 1975;Sellwood, 1978;James, 1979;~lurphy & \Vilkinson, 1980), and in themselves are not evidence for aridity, seasonal or otherwise. Furthermore, many carbonates in the Jebel Qatrani Formation yield abundant freshwater charophytes and indicate deposition in non-saline standing water (see section on invertebrate fossils).…”

The Faywn Prim.ate Forest RevisitedIn Oligocene times, the Fayum area of northern Egypt was a subtropical to tropical lowland coastal plain with damp soils and seasonal rainfall that supported an abundance and variety of vegetation, including lianes (large vines), tall trees, and possibly mangroves, and a large and varied vertebrate fauna. The Oligocene marine strandline was close by and principal Jebel Qatrani Formation streams were probably brackish several kilometers inland due to tidal incursions.Sediments of the Jebel Qatrani Formation were deposited by several large meandering streams, associated with minor but sometimes extensive flood basin ponds. These rocks provide no evidence for the former existence, in early Tertiary time, of a "Proto-Nile" River. Large accumulations of silicified fossil logs in the Jebel Qatrani Formation are autochthonous and the logs were transported only a short distance before burial. The Oligocene higher primates A·~g;Ptopithecus, Propliopithecus, Parapithecus, and Apidium lived in this paleoenvironment and postcranial remains of Aeg;ptopithecus and Apidium demonstrate that these animals were arboreal. This scenario for the paleoenvironment of the Fayum area in Oligocene times differs greatly from the nearly treeless, sparsely vegetated, semiarid sahtlien Oligocene Fayum paleoenvironment populated by terrestrial primates that ,vas recently proposed by Kortlandt (1980).

“…10 and 11) Non-laminated mud 20-150 cm thick massive carbonaceous mud, showing a low degree of bioturbation. Deposited under clam low energy conditions in the deeper parts of the lake (Picard and High, 1972;Ryang and Chough, 1997). Laminated clay-silt 20-50 cm thick, parallel lamination, wave ripples, lenticular and flaser-bedding, high degree of mottling and preservation of organic matter.…”
