• Geochemical characterization of potential Jurassic / Cretaceous source rocks in the Shushan Basin, Northern Western Desert, Egypt

• International events

• Cover: Aerial view of Apache's Qasr field, a Jurassic discovery made in 2003 in the Shushan Basin, Western Desert, Egypt. Gas-condensates here are believed to be sourced by Jurassic Safa Formation shales and coals, and the reservoir is a thick package of Jurassic braided fluvial deposits. Jurassic-Cretaceous source rocks in the Shushan Basin are the subject of the paper by Alsharhan and Abd El-Gawad on pp. 191-212 of this issue. Photo: courtesy Apache Egypt Companies.

• Obituary: R. R. F. Kinghorn

• International Events

• Cover: Bathymetric and topographic imagery of the western, convergent South American margin. The Oligocene to Recent Progreso Basin, a forearc depression of pull-apart origin, hosts Neogene reservoirs of commercial importance. These reservoirs are the subject of the paper by Deckelman et al. on pp. 43-60 of this issue. Imagery prepared by Khalid Soofi and Debbie Hall of ConocoPhillips Company.
