Syndepositional tectonics of the Post-Barremian Cretaceous series from the Northeastern Chotts Range (Meridional Tunisia) Post-Barremian sedimentation in the Northern Chotts Range (Tunisia) has been controlled by tectonic movements related to active syndepositional faults trending S-N and E-W. Six major tectonic periods have created a large regional uplifted zone in particular during the Aptian-Turonian. These have also permitted the tilting of polygonal blocks forming basins, subsidence inversion and opening of grabens and S-N trending troughs. The studied areas located at the junction of deep-seated major accidents directed E-W and S-N. The latter correspond essentially to the so-called N-S axis and the former is directed along the North...
