英文摘要	In order to document the depositional environments of the Kurkur Formation in Southwestern Desert, Egypt, four surface sections measured in this region from north to south as follows: Gebel Garra, Wadi Abu-Sayal, Kurkur Oasis, and Sinn El-Kaddab. Planktonic foraminifera indicate that the age of Kurkur Formation in the study area is Danian to Selandian. Microfacies analysis shows graduation from wackestones, floatstones, and packstones in the lower part to oolitic and bioclastic grainstones in the upper section. The lower part of Kurkur Formation characterized by calcareous foraminifera assemblages, whereas arenaceous types are concentrated toward the uppermost part. Bivalves, gastropods, and echinoids are the most abundant macrofossils. Using the microfacies analyses and fossil content, the Kurkur Formation in the studied area deposited in middle neritic zone for the lower part, which is synchronous with the beginning of the Cenozoic transgression in the study area, and changed upward to inner neritic and supratidal environments.
