الملخص
The study area covers 8100 Kmz in north central Sudan bounded by Latitudes 17°50‘- 18° 30‘ N and Longitudes 33° 40‘ and 34° 30‘ E.Different digital image processing techniques applied to enhance the geological and structural details of the study area, using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM 7). The (ETM+) images show that the southeast trending structural lineaments of the Nakasib Suture Zone (N SZ) continue to the southeastern part of the Bayuda Desert north of Atbara.Geologically, the area is underlain by highly sheared mafic-ultramafic rocks,volcano sedimentary sequences and supracrustal metasediments. All of the units are invaded by calc-alkaline and post to anorogenic intrusions. The mafic-ultramaficmasses have all the features characteristic of ophiolite suits including layered cumulate, sheeted dolerite dykes, pillow lavas section and associated deep marine sediments, but are dismembered and recrystallized. The pillow lava sections have typical mid-oceanic ridge basalt geochemical signature as indicated by discrimination diagrams. The ophiolitic massifs identified in this work have been grouped into three complexes, namely Sotrebab, Qurun and El-Fadlan Complexes forming discontinues NE-SW trending belt that merges with theophiolitic fragments along the Nakasib Suture Zone. Therefore, these complexes may represent the southwestern continuation of the Nakasib Suture Zone.The volcano sedimentary sequence is comprised of turbidities besides massive volcanic flows which have been recrystallized in the condition of the green schistfacies of regional metamorphism. They have predominantly tholeiitic to mild calc-alkaline geochemical affinity, thus suggesting subduction related geotectonic setting.
