Two minor distributaries branched northward. The critical stage in the process of the silting up of the lower reaches of the Pelusiac branch, due to prograding beach accretion, occurred around A.D. 25. Ancient ruins in the area are closely associated with the courses.

The ichnofossils occur in fine-grained sandstones with major traces of Diplocraterion, Skofithos, Polykladichnus and Conichnus. Of particular interest is a zone at the top of the formation, where the sandy sediments are incised by fossil tidal channels that locally show traces of these burrowing organisms. A similar ichnofacies of the same age occurs across the Gulf of Suez in south and southwestern Egypt. The wide extent of this burrowed zone makes it a useful stratigraphical marker. Also of significance is the association of the trace fossils with well-preserved sand bars and tidal channels, which enables study of their paleoecology and provides another aspect in the interpretation of the tidal model.
