英文摘要 | The present study offers a novel opportunity to characterize the structural style and tectonic evolution of the Mesozoic Shabrawet inverted structure zone and its interaction with the northward propagation of the Gulf of Suez rift, Egypt. Based on the integration of fieldwork, detailed surface mapping and subsurface imaging by borehole data and seismic interpretation, the geology of Shabrawet area is characterized into the northern, central, and southern structural subareas. The central subarea has exposures of Cretaceous rocks whereas the northern subarea has the Jurassic/Cretaceous subcrop capped by the Oligo/Miocene rocks with remarkable stratigraphic hiatus probably due to differential erosion or non-deposition of the Lower Tertiary-Cretaceous sediments. The southern subarea represents a SW-dipped gulf-parallel block of Middle/Late Eocene and Oligo/Miocene sediments. The structural elements of the Shabrawet area are represented by a group of plunging and double plunging folds of NE-ENE-, E-W, WNW- trends that are dissected by NE-reverse faults, ENE-trending transpressional faults, N-S sinistral faults, E-W to WNW - trending dextral faults and NW-trending normal faults. Structural analysis, fault slip data, and the constructed subsurface seismic profiles and thickness maps reveal the tectonic history of the area through a Late Cretaceous-Eocene transpressional inversion of E to ENE-extensional Jurassic border faults. This ENE-inverted Syrian arc structure zone played as structural high with non-deposition of Eocene sediments and differential erosion of Cretaceous sediments. During the Oligo-Miocene NE-extension, this high-oblique inverted zone terminates the northward propagation of gulf parallel faults and SW- block rotation of the northern structural province of the Gulf of Suez rift at the southern subarea and the central Bitter Lake. Further westward, this ENE-inverted Shabrawet-Abu Sultan intrabasinal Jurrassic half-graben of N- dipping might be structucturally correlatable with the NE- inverted structural belt of Gebel Maghara in Northern Sinai. |
