“…This context fits with the southern Tethyan passive margin setting well documented by previous studies (e.g. Souquet et al, 1997;Jaillard et al, 2013;Soua, 2014;El Amari et al, 2016;Naji et al, 2018a).…”

“…Elsewhere, at the HM, GZ and ASK outcrop sections, the sampled successions probably cover the Early to Late Albian. In our study, the part of the HM outcrop between samples HM1 to HM10 is attributed to the Late Aptian-lower Albian age (Burollet, 1956;El Euchi, 1993;Zghal, 1994;Chihaoui, 2009;Jaillard et al, 2013).…”

The Albian organic-rich successions of the lower part of the Fahdene Formation (Albian to Cenomanian, Tunisia) were studied using sedimentology (analysis of carbonate contents and observation of thin sections), bulk organic geochemistry (Rock-Eval pyrolysis), and molecular biomarker distributions. The selected outcrops cover different structural domains from western central Tunisia (Jebel Hamra) to the Diapir zone or the Tunisian Trough (Koudiat Berkouchia, Jebel Ghazouan and Ain Asker from the southwest to the northeast, respectively). Total Organic Carbon values between 0.17 and 3.43% evidenced the record of the Albian oceanic anoxic events OAE1b and OAE1c in this southern Tethys margin. Rock-Eval data and molecular biomarkers (n-alkanes, steranes and terpanes) revealed thermally mature organic matter (OM) consisting of a mixed Type II/III OM (marine planktonic and continental origins). The abundant tricyclic terpanes, C30 17α(H) Diahopanes, and the regular decrease of homohopanes (C31 to C35) in the terpane series, were also indicative of a high contribution of bacterial OM that had been developed under stagnant dysoxic/anoxic environments.

“…The Upper Cretaceous section is affected by many geological movements balanced between compressional and extensional activities. Starting with the Albo-Aptian interval, central Tunisia has undergone a compressive phase attributed to the Austrian orogeny (Rabhi and Ben Ayed, 1990;Ben Ayed et al, 1997;Patriat et al, 2003;Lazzez et al, 2008;Jaillard et al, 2013). Zouaghi et al (2011) outlined that the occurrence of this regional erosional phase could be explained by an uplift and a sea level fall.…”
