Contrôle tectonique de la sédimentation néogène dans la zone des diapirs de Tunisie septentrionale

During the Neogene, the sedimentary succession changed from marine shallow water formations during the Early and Middle Miocene to lagoonal and continental formations during the Late Miocene and the Pliocene. This succession is subdivided into three sedimentary major cycles that are mainly due to compressional tectonic events. Propagating folds above a detachment within the evaporitic Triassic strata caused the formation of the tectonics. To cite this article: M. Chikhaoui, C. R. Geoscience 336 (2004).
