Co‐authors 'Ibrahim Abu El‐Leil' and 'Ezzat A. Shafea' should have been inserted in author byline so it reads:Hatem M. El Desoky¹, Taher M. Shahin¹, Ibrahim Abu El‐Leil¹ and Ezzat A. Shafea²

The following affiliation has been added as well.²Mineral Resources Authority (Egyptian Geological Survey), Egypt

In Acknowledgments section, the first two sentences should be deleted so it now reads:

The authors are grateful to Mahmoud Hafez for the preparation of ASTER images of the study area. The manuscript was substantially improved by the helpful comments of two anonymous referees and Editor Prof. Gaoxue Yang.

In Figure 1 caption, the reference citation “Conoco, 1987” should be corrected to “Abu El‐Leil, El‐Desoky, & Shafea, 2017; Abu El‐Leil & Shafea, 2017; Shafea, 2017” so it reads:

FIGURE 1 Geologic map of wadi Dungash–wadi Shait area, South Eastern Desert, Egypt (modified after Abu El‐Leil, El‐Desoky, & Shafea, 2017; Abu El‐Leil & Shafea, 2017; Shafea, 2017)

The reference citations “(Teniakov, Tsogoev, & Pokryshkin, 1973; Philobbos, Hassan, & El‐Din, 1975; Said, Sabet, Zalata, Teniakov, & Pokryshkin, 1976)” should have been inserted at the end of the paragraph in Section 3.4 so it reads:

They are represented by fine‐ and coarse‐grained sandstones moderately hard, whereas the gritstone and conglomerate beds occur essentially at the basal parts (Teniakov, Tsogoev, & Pokryshkin, 1973; Philobbos, Hassan, & El‐Din, 1975; Said, Sabet, Zalata, Teniakov, & Pokryshkin, 1976).

合著者易卜拉欣·阿布·埃勒（Ebrat Abu El‐Leil）和埃扎特·A·沙菲亚（Ezzat A.Shafea）应该插入作者的署名中，因此应为：Hatem M.El Desoky ¹，塔赫·M·沙辛¹，易卜拉欣·阿布·埃勒伊¹和易扎特A. Shafea ²

还添加了以下从属关系。²埃及矿产资源管理局（埃及地质调查局）

在“致谢”部分，应删除前两个句子，使其现在显示为：

作者感谢Mahmoud Hafez准备研究区域的ASTER图像。两位匿名裁判和编辑杨高学教授的有益评论大大改善了手稿。

在图1标题中，参考引用“ Conoco，1987”应更正为“ Abu El-Leil，El-Desoky和Shafea，2017；阿布·埃雷尔（Abu El‐Leil）和莎菲亚（Shafea），2017年 Shafea，2017”这样写：
