...MOHAMED SULTAN; RAYMOND E. ARVIDSON; NEIL C. STURCHIO; EDWARD A. GUINNESS Abstract Digital Landsat thematic mapper (TM) data were evaluated for lithologic mapping capabilities over the Meatiq dome area in the hyper-arid Eastern Desert of Egypt. Bi-directional spectral reflectance data (0.4–2.5 µm...

...Neil C. Sturchio; Mohamed Sultan; Rodey Batiza Abstract Meatiq Dome, a metamorphic complex in the Precambrian basement of the Eastern Desert of Egypt, exhibits many of the essential features of Cordilleran metamorphic core complexes. It is an antiformal structure with low-dipping foliation...

... was first successfully tested over the Meatiq dome and Wadi Ghadir areas, where serpentinites and ophiolitic melanges dominated by serpentinites have been mapped during the course of field work. A TM-based map was then generated; the map covered about 60 000 km 2 in the Eastern Desert. Results demonstrate...

... or sedimentary, of some of the rocks in the Meatiq dome. Some are definitely magmatic. For example, strongly foliated granitic rocks forming the steep cliffs of G. Um Baanib, ESE of G. Meatiq, include foliated, riebeckite-bearing, hornblende granites and pinkish foliated granitic rocks with large mafic, mostly...
