- •
The nannoplankton biostratigraphy was studied through Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments from off shore Nile Delta.
- •
Eight biozones were identified along with their associated bioevents from NDOB-1 and Baltim-1 wells.
- •
The identified bioevents were used to calculate the sedimentation rates (SRs) through the studied sections.
- •
The SRs delineated sequence stratigraphy, fluvial activity, and persistence of petroleum source and reservoir rocks.
- •
The identified bioevents are used to construct more accurate burial history models.
