英文摘要	Elaborated geological mapping and structural analysis of the Gulf of Suez's western side revealed two superimposed tectonic regimes; Late Cretaceous-Early Eocene dextral transpression along ENE-oriented deep-seated faults and NE Oligo-Miocene extension. Pre-rift structures are represented by four ENE-oriented right-lateral strike-slip deformation zones (DZ). Each DZ is defined by the ENE-oriented right-lateral strike-slip faults, NE to ENE growth folds, and NW-oriented normal faults. The orthogonal relation between the growth folds and NW-oriented faults indicates their association to a strike-slip tectonic regime. The tight overturned folds and the small angles between the growth fold axis and the principal deformation zone implies transpression rather than simple shearing. A transpressional tectonic regime with NW-SE maximum principal stress (sigma(1)) and NE-SW minimum principal stress (sigma(3)) were dominantly active during Late Cretaceous-Early Eocene. The occurrence of three angular unconformities at different stratigraphic levels within the Upper Cretaceous-Lower Eocene sedimentary sequences infer the deformation age. ENE anticlines have grown above the propagating deep-seated transpressional faults, associated with continuous exhumation along their hinge zones and syntectonic deposition in the sub-basins beyond their steep limbs.
