The Numidian Flysch Complex of Onshore Tunisia (Southern Kroumirie Range) - Facies Analysis and Stratigraphic Review

Sedimentological analysis and biostratigraphic review of the Oligo-Miocene deposits of northern Tunisia provide new data allowing new stratigraphic and paleogeographic reconstruction. The Kroumirie and Zouza member have the same age and correspond to sand/mud and mud/sand rich systems of a deep sea fan system with a detrital influx supplied from the North. Structural analysis demonstrate that the Numidian flysch has been displaced by a major thrust fault.
