What is it about?
The development of mineral deposits related to hypogene sulfuric acid speleogenesis within cavernous middle Eocene beds of the Giza plateau. This is significant because the plateau is characterized by variable karst features, and the present mineral deposits could be considered as a new contribution for sulfuric acid speleogenesis.

Why is it important?
The present work is the first record discussing the relation between the sulfuric acid speleogenetic mineral deposits and the recognized paleokarst features in the Giza plateau and their relevance to possible ascending of H2S gas associated with hydrocarbon seepages from the underlying Cretaceous reservoirs.
