• Cover: Main photo shows Eocene limestones of the El Garia Formation exposed at the El Garia type locality in northern Tunisia. Mid-Eocene nummulitic grainstones form important reservoir rocks for hydrocarbons in North Africa. Equivalent limestones in the Sirt Basin (Libya), known as the Gialo Formation, are the subject of the paper by Swei and Tucker on pp. 25-48 of this issue. Below are field photos of the El Garia Formation (left and centre); and a photomicrograph of a nummulitic facies in the Gialo Formation. Photos by Paola Ronchi except bottom right by Maurice Tucker.
