f Title Mesozoic Regional Facies and Hidrocarbon Exploration in the Periadriatic Region

A model of regional facies distribution during the Mesozic, based on a simplified<br>paleogeographic-oriented approach to basin analysis, provides a quick method for describing<br>the geologic history and for evaluating the hydrocarbon prospectivity of large areas of the<br>Periadriatic region (northern Tunisia, Sicily, Malta, Italy, Yugoslavia, Albania, western<br>Greece). The model relies heavily on the overall vertical facies development and patterns of<br>carbonate sedimentation through time.
