摘要：
Wadi El Gemal district is located at the southeastern Desert extending for about 30 km and between Latitude 24" 32' 21" - 24" 41 ' 00" and Longitudes 34" 45' 00" - 35" 07' 00". The width of Wadi El Gemal opening ranges from one kilometer to 1.5 kilometer. Thisteen spot samples nrere collected fiom the back shore area. The grain size ranges from 1.73 to 2.74, ivhere the grain size increases from south to north. Sorting ranges between 0.33 and 0.534 indicating very \\.ell to well sorted sediments. These sediments are reworked for long time nit11 sufficient energy to yield well sorted sediments. The light minerals consist mainly of quartz (37 - 71%). The heavy minerals represented by amphiboles, pyroxenes, with contents range between 26.74% and 48.72%. Epodit. Kyanite. sturolite represent the less conmon minerals, while minerals as: zircon. rutile. garnet. monazite, sphene and opaque minerals are also encountered. Opaque mil1el3ls include magnetite, hematite, goethite, ilmenite and their alteration product. leucoxene. Magnetite has content ranges between 0.31% and 5.54. The ilmenite content ranges between 0.97% and 9.68%. Hematite and goethite present with content ranges between 0.02% and 0.46%. The frequency of zircon in the studied samples ranges between 0.05% and 0.62%. Rutile abundance reaches 0.24%. Leucoxene content ranges between 0.04% and 0.56%. Garnet fiquency ranses between 0.05% and 0.35%. Monazite and sphene are very rare in some samples. Mineral chemistry of heavy minerals suggest they were derived fio~n intrusive granitoidic, granitic gneisses and psaminitic gneisses origin which are extensivzly present in Wadi El Gelnal tributaries as Wadi Hanglaliya. Wadi Nugrus. Wadi Skiat and Wadi Abu Rushied.
