It has produced the richest and most diverse fauna of amphibians and squamate reptiles reported from the Palaeogene of Africa. Moreover, it is one of the rare faunas including amphibians and squamates known from the period of isolation of Africa. The assemblage comprises 17 to 20 taxa (one gymnophionan, one probable caudate, three to six anurans, seven ‘lizards’, and five snakes). Two new taxa were recovered: the anuran Rocekophryne ornata gen. et sp. nov. and the snake Afrotortrix draaensis gen.

  • Sedimentological Characteristics and Depositional Environments of the Upper Cretaceous Shendi Formation, Umm Ali Area, Northern Sudan
    Sedimentological Characteristics and Depositional Environments of the Upper Cretaceous Shendi Formation, Umm Ali Area, Northern Sudan By Elbashir Oshi Mohamed Ahmed University of Khartoum (٢٠٠٠) M.Sc. qualifying A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the Requirements of Master Degree of Science in Geology Geology Department Faculty of Science University of Khartoum ٢٠٠٤ April Abstract This study investigates the paleodepostional environment, facies types, architectures and paleogeograhy of the Upper Cretaceous sediments of Shendi Formation in northern central Sudan. The methodology included surface and subsurface lithofacies analysis, petrography, grain size, heavy minerals, clay minerals and geochemical analyses. The depositional environment of Shendi Formation is subdivided into lower lacustrine and upper fluvial members.These members are composed of three lithofacies associations, deep lacustrine lithofacies association C, fluvio-lacustrine association B and fluvial lithofacies association A. The deep lacustrine lithfacies association C is characterized by massive mudstone facies (Fm). The transitional lithofacies association B is dominated by fine laminated sandstone, siltstone and mudstone facies (Fl) and laminated sandstone, siltstone and mudstone facies (Fsm). Such lake environment dominated the subsurface area comprising almost the facies types with part of minor fluvial sediments recorded from the basin prephery boreholes. Moreover, the lakes were moderately large, broad and shallow are characterized by alkaline and slightly saline chemical nature near shore.This water type is subsequently become fresh water during hydrologically open lake that was controlled by fluvial input. The upper fluvial member is characterized by erosional channel surface and trough cross-bedded sandstone facies (St), planar cross- bedded sandstone facies (Sp), horizontally –bedded sandstone facies (Sh), ripple cross-bedded sandstone facies (Sr) and massive sandstone facies (Sm) with some overband and floodplain sediments.

  • A Dinosaur Fauna from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Northern Sudan
    Palaeont. afr., 35, 61-84 (1999) A DINOSAUR FAUNA FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS (CENOMANIAN) OF NORTHERN SUDAN by Oliver W. M. Rauhut University of Bristol, Department of Geology, Wills Memorial Building, Queens Road, Bristol, BS8 1RJ, England, UK ABSTRACT A dinosaur fauna from the Cenomanian of northern Sudan (Wadi Milk Formation) is described. It comprises at least nine, probably ten to eleven taxa: a dicraeosaurid, a titanosaurid and another undetermined sauropod (possibly a titanosaurid), two charcharodontosaurids, a dromaeosaurid, a probable hypsilophodontid and two iguanodontian ornithopods. It is one of the most diverse dinosaur faunas known from the Cretaceous of Africa. The environment was probably a semiarid savanna with some rivers, lined by dense vegetation, with abundant sauropods, less abundant theropods and rare ornithopods. Gigantic carcharodontosaurids were at the top of the food chain. At the present state of knowledge, the dinosaur fauna from the middle to late Cretaceous of Africa can be characterized by the presence of carcharodontosaurids, spinosaurids, titanosaurids, diplodocoids, and possibly iguanodontian ornithopods. KEYWORDS: Africa, Cretaceous, Dinosauria, Palaeoecology, Palaeobiogeography INTRODUCTION Cretaceous dinosaur faunas from Africa have recently gained more attention (Jacobs et al. 1990, 1993, 1996; Sereno et al. 1994,1996; Forster et al. 1995; Rauhut & Werner 1995), but they are still very poorly known (Russell 1995). Articulated dinosaur remains have so far been found only in the ?Barremian and Aptian of Niger (Taquet 1976; Sereno etal. 1994), and the Cenomanian of Egypt (Stromer 1915, 1931, 1932, 1934, 1936) and Morocco (Lavocat 1954; Sereno etal. 1996). Therefore, isolated skeletal elements of dinosaurs from the Cretaceous of Africa can add important information for a more complete picture of African faunas.

Supervised several Summer Field Geology trips and mapping projects for over 25 undergraduate geology students. Graduate courses covered advanced Sedimentology, advanced stratigraphy, independent Studies and Geology Seminar. I supervised over 50 M.S and PhD theses at U of K in Sudan and KFUPM and have many publications in journals and conferences. I conducted several internally and externally sponsored projects from KFUPM, SABIC, KACST and KAP and NSTIP research projects. Contract research was work done for Greater Nile Petroleum, Talisman energy, Ministry of Energy and Mining Sudan, RI-Saudi Aramco, Luksar and Sinogas. Recently my research deals with sedimentology and petroleum geology aspects and utilization of digital outcrop reservoir analog models for the purpose understanding and prediction of subsurface aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs in Saudi Arabia. Carried out more than 50 geological field trip related to teaching, graduate student research and sponsored research projects at different parts in Saudi Arabia.
