Abstract : The syn-rift Miocene carbonate rocks in Rabigh and Ubhur areas belong to the Jerba carbonate member of Dafin Formation and Ubhur Formation, respectively. The carbonate rocks of Rabigh overlie Wadi Al-Hakkak clastic section and are considered as a lateral facies equivalent to the Jehfa evaporite section. The Ubhur carbonate rocks underlie the Middle Miocene shale and evaporite rocks. Raised Quaternary coral terraces are dominant in Rabigh area. Field, paleontological and palynofacies studies of the Neogene rocks (carbonate and shale) of Ubhur and Rabigh areas, Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia indicate the existence of corals, gastropods, bivalves, echinoderms, foraminifers and amorphous organic matter. Taxonomic and paleoecological interpretations of the recorded fossils are the purpose of this work.
