Nusab El Balgum mass complex represents one of the alkaline igneous activities in the south Western Desert of Egypt. Petrographic investigations defined some different rock types in south of the complex represented by alkaline volcanics (pyroclastics [rhyolitic crystal tuffs], spherulitic rhyolites, alkaline rhyolite dykes), sub-volcanic peralkaline granites and structurally controlled mylonitic volcanoclastics. These rocks recorded significant concentrations in terms of the two radioactive elem
