Late Miocene karst system at Sheikh Abdallah, between Bahariya and Farafra, Western Desert, Egypt : Implications for palaeoclimate and geomorphology

The extensive spelean deposits in the Western Desert of Egypt at Crystal Mountain (Gebel Bellorat) are considered to be 11-10 Ma, confirming the 'Vallesian' estimate made by Heissig (1982). Several new faunal elements have been discovered including anurans, snakes, soricids, bats, galagids...
