Extract

The Egyptian clays under consideration are obtained from two different localities. The Aswan clays are mainly concentrated in the neighbourhood of Aswan town in Upper Egypt and the Sinai kaolins from the Sinai Peninsula. The Aswan clays, namely: red Aswan clay, white Aswan clay, and siliceous Aswan clay, are transported clays, while Aswan kaolin is a residual clay. The Sinai kaolins are of obscure origin but most probably are transported clays. As is shown later, these are alunite-bearing clays not previously recorded in Egypt.
