The western margin of northern Afar Depression constitutes various rock units of Neoproterozoic basement complex, Paleozoic to Mesozoic sedimentary successions and the Oligocene to present volcano-sedimentary sequences. As part of a reconnaissance survey for mineral resources in selected districts of Afar region, a geological and structural map of Dallol area has been produced with the help of the Landsat Thematic Mapper Plus imagery at a scale of 1:100,000 and a simplified stratigraphy is constructed for the western rift margin, Dallol area.Keywords: Geology, Stratigraphy, Western Rift Margin, Dallol, Northern Afar Depression, Ethiopia
