Gabal Edmonstone

Gabal Edmonstone is a flat-topped mesa located near the Dahkla Oasis south of Cairo, Egypt. It is a remnant of an eroding scarp that extends for over 200 kilometers (120 mi) east-southeast to west-northwest. The flat caprock of both the scarp and Mount Edmonstone is chalky limestone underlain by fossil-bearing shale and fine-grained sedimentary rocks.
