Abstract
The geological age of these beds has been the subject of much speculation by various geologists. In 1845 Orlebar claimed to have found the Gebel Ahmar Sandstone at No. 3 Station on the Old Post Road to Suez, overlying Miocene beds containing Scutella Zitteli. O. Fraas in 1867 imagined he could trace a gradual passage between the Upper Moqattam and these beds, and concluded, therefore, that they were of marine origin and Lower Oligocene age, as they had undergone the same general earth-movements as the Eocene beds.
