The “cannonballs” concretions are very common geomorphic structures within the Eocene rocks in both the Faiyum and Bahariya depressions in Egypt (Plyusnina et al. 2016; Sallam et al. 2018).

In the Faiyum Depression, the “cannonballs” concretions occur either individually eroding out of the Middle Eocene Birket Qarun Formation
