Fish assemblage and palaeoenvironment of Early Cretaceous (Barremian) neap-spring tidal rhythmites from Sidi Aïch Formation of the Chotts basin (Southern Tunisia)

The late Aptian–early Albian transgressions in the Chott area, southern Central Tunisia

“…Radhouane. The stratigraphy of the Chott area has been first established in the fifties during campaigns for oil exploration (Domergue et al, 1952;Arnoult-Saget, 1956). Since then, the age of the Aptian series and the deposition environment of the Aptian-Albian successions have been refined by local works (M'Rabet et al, 1979;Ben Youssef et al, 1985a;Ben Youssef and Peybernes, 1986;Chaabani et al, 1992;Abdallah and Memmi, 1994;Abdallah et al, 1995;Hfaiedh et al, 2013;Godet et al 2014;Ben Ali et al, 2018). Meanwhile, the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the basin has been studied by Abbes and Tlig (1991), Louhaichi and Tlig (1993), Hlaiem (1999), , Lazzez et al (2008) and Amamria et al (2021).…”
