The study points out that the inversion time, intensity, and type vary among different basins in northern Egypt, and proposes that the geological structures of Abu Roash can be defined as a transpressional (oblique) inversion tectonic model that started at the Santonian and ended by the Latest Senonian. This tectonic model represents the northeastern segment of the Kattaniya basin and does not generalize to the whole basin or other basins in North Egypt.
Moustafa (2021) addressed four main comments in his discussion On the structures of Abu Roash area and inverted basins of northern Egypt -Comments on Surface expression of the Syrian Arc Kattaniya inverted basin in the Abu Roash area, northeast Western Desert, Egypt: Structural style and tectonic history by Sayed et al. (2020). Two of these comments criticized the new structural mapping of Abu Roash outcrops and the proposed model for El Ghigiga-El-Hassana Folds based on the early geologic mapping of the Abu Roash area by Moustafa (1988). His other comments were concerning the NE-orientation and end of tectonic inversion of the extensional Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous basins in North Egypt including the Kattaniya basin. Except for two constructive memos on drafting errors in the regional geologic map of Abu Roash, the registered comments were inaccurate and can be refuted with the results of the comprehensive regional and integrated subsurface geologic mapping on the North Western Desert basins, the previous works of Moustafa and his collaborators and the figures included in his discussion as we will present in this reply. It was documented that the inversion time, intensity, and type (orthogonal versus oblique or compressional versus transpressional/transtensional) differ from one basin to another in the northern part of Egypt. The geologic structures of Abu Roash helped to define a transpressional (oblique) inversion tectonic model that started at the Santonian and ended by the Latest Senonian. This tectonic model represents the northeastern segment of the Kattaniya basin and does not generalize to the whole basin or other basins in North Egypt.
