• Mohamed Abdelfatah, Paul Mann, and Philip Ball - Distribution, thickness, and kinematics of Middle Miocene salt in the Northern Red Sea rift basin
  ABSTRACT: 2D seismic reflection data tied to exploration wells are used to investigate the distribution of evaporites along the Egyptian margin of the northern Red Sea. We document the timing and distribution, thickness, and kinematics of the Miocene Red Sea evaporitic body. We observe that the dominant deposition of halitic evaporites in the Red Sea is closely correlated to the global Middle Miocene climate cooling event ~13.8 Ma. Salt thickness maps indicate that the salt thickness is not uniform across the northwestern margin and is instead thickest basinwards of the necking domain where the largest and thickest salt body is located to the west of the Mabahiss Deep in the Egyptian margin. Structurally we observe salt withdrawal structures along the proximal domain and down-dip compressional structures. We also observe allochthonous salt bodies flowing in a basinwards (northeastward) direction. One exception to this rule is in the northernmost Red Sea, where we observe both easterly and westerly verging salt bodies indicating asymmetry in the nascent rift axis of the northern Red Sea. In the southern Red Sea where oceanic crust is better developed than in the northern area, we observe a correlation of basement highs, axial deeps and pinch outs or absences of the main mapped evaporite body. This more complex salt distribution is likely related to mobilized salt that has not moved fast enough to expand laterally to cover the newly formed axial domains of oceanic crust. In the region of the northeast-trending Zabargad Fracture Zone we observe a thinner salt body to the north of the fracture zone and a thicker salt body to the south of the fracture zone and in the direction of the deeper and more developed oceanic crust of the central Red Sea.
