Abstract

The Basement Complex rocks of the Northern Red Sea Hills, Sudan, are believed to be pre-Cambrian in age. They can be divided into three major sedimentary and volcanic divisions, with four main periods of igneous intrusion. The succession proposed by the author is as follows:—

Red granite.

Injection granite.

Awat series.

(Unconformity with folding, thrusting, and cleavage.)

Basic intrusive phase.

Nafirdeib series.

(Unconformity with folding, and regional metamorphism.)

Primitive system {Acid Gneiss (intrusive). Schists and Gneiss.
