Abstract:
The exposed Pre-Sahabi rock unit formation "M" at As Sahabi area in Sirt Basin is analyzed micro
paleontologically for bryozoans. Fourteen species belonging to eleven genera of bryozoan have
been identified, described for the first time. In addition, the importance of the present study is to
determine the paleo environmental occurrences as is performed herein with particular attention
to their paleo geographical distribution. A comparison with the coeval sites from Siwa Oasis, the
Cairo-Suez Road section in Egypt, as well as the Maradah Formation from Sirt Basin in Libya, has
been revealed some similarities between these sites.
