Prototype for Genralized Stratigraphic Column of Egypt Cong.
Description This is an attempt to make Genralized Stratigraphic Column of Egypt. Since May 2009 the project was stopped. I hope someday we be able to finish this project. The coworker of this Prototype were Abdelrhman Selim, Abdallah Omar, Ahmed Maray, and Ahmed Emam. Computer, design, and data input by Abdelrhman Selim. we used the textbook: Geology of Egypt by Prof. Aattef Hossny, Al-azhar University.
