ABSTRACT
Towards the end of the Paleozoic, the area from east of Gebel Uweinat to Aswan, near the Egyptian/Sudanese border, formed a regional high from which Paleozoic sediments and Precambrian basement were eroded. The arcosic and partly conglomeratic sediments of the Lakia Formation were transported to the south and southwest and filled up a large east – west trending basin. New informations about the Late Permian and Triassic from the subsurface of the Kufra Basin as well as uncertain Triassic remnant strata in the Aswan area, complete the paleogeographic picture of this region.
