Abstract
P013 THRUST GEOMETRY AND KINEMATIC RELATIONSHIP WITH TECTONIC INHERITANCE IN NORTHEN TUNISIA 1 M.A.O. BAGGA1 AND S. ABDELJAOUAD1 1Faculté des Sciences de Tunis Département de géologie Campus universitaire 1060 Tunis Tunisia Summary The geologic and multiscale tectonic study of Ghardimaou-Fernana outcrops has permited to restore the early Miocene SE verging ramp and flat thrust system geometry which have been complicated by later shortening events. The occurrence of ramp folds are closely linked to faults which have regulated the Mesozoïc and Paleogene depositional basins. Introduction In Northen Tunisia the early Miocene inversion results into a thrust system mooving toward the SE
