Abstract
The Eocene limestones of the Pyramids plateau are characterized by landforms of stepped terraced escarpment and karst ridges with isolated hills. The carbonate country rocks are also dominated by minor surface, surface to subsurface and subsurface solution features associated with karst products.
The systematic field observations eludicate the denudation trend of the minor solution features and suggest the origin of the regional landscapes.
The lithologic and structural characters of the limestone country rocks comprise the main factors controlling the surface and subsurface karst evolution.
The development of the karst features and the associated sediments in the study area provides information on the paleohydrolic, chemical and climatic environments involved in the origin of the karstification.
