TLDR
In this paper, the authors defined Lower Cretaceous seismic units were calibrated with petroleum well data and tied to stratigraphic sequences established by outcrop studies, which allowed the subsurface identification of subsiding zones and thus sequence deposit distribution.About:

Timing of early to mid-cretaceous tectonic phases along North Africa: New insights from the Jeffara escarpment (Libya–Tunisia)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a unified bio-lithostratigraphic framework for the Jeffara escarpment in Tunisia and Libya by comparing the ages of the different formations and members.

Analysis of Cretaceous (Aptian) strata in central Tunisia, using 2D seismic data and well logs
Taher Zouaghi,Issam Ferhi,Mourad Bédir,Mohamed Ben Youssef,Mohamed Gasmi,Mohamed Hédi Inoubli +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a structural and depositional model of lower Cretaceous (Aptian) strata in central Tunisia is presented, using detailed facies relations in outcrops, seismic reflection data, and wells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure, paleogeographic inheritance, and deformation history of the southern Atlas foreland fold and thrust belt of Tunisia
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic rifting inheritance in the structuring of the active foreland fold and thrust belt of the southern Tunisian Atlas, in particular in the development of NW-SE oblique structures such as the Gafsa fault, was confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detrital mode, mineralogy and geochemistry of the Sidi Aïch Formation (Early Cretaceous) in central and southwestern Tunisia: Implications for provenance, tectonic setting and paleoenvironment
TL;DR: The chemical and mineralogical composition of the Sidi Aich Formation sandstones in central and southwestern Tunisia has been investigated in order to infer the provenance and tectonic setting, as well as to appraise the influence of weathering as mentioned in this paper.

The Chotts Fold Belt of Southern Tunisia, North African Margin: Structural Pattern, Evolution, and Regional Geodynamic Implications
Taher Zouaghi,Rihab Guellala,Mourad Bédir Marzouk Lazzez,Mohamed Ben Youssef,Mohamed Hédi Inoubli,Fouad Zargouni +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of the North African margin is considered as a passive margin, characterized by a strong subsidence marked by accumulations of prograding deposits, and it is a transform margin related to displacements of the African plate compared to the Eurasian plate.

Seismic Stratigraphy — Applications to Hydrocarbon Exploration
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a series of eleven papers under the subject heading of “Seismic stratigraphy and global changes of sea level” and describe the regional unconformities and stratigraphic changes resulting from sea level fluctuations, and the manner in which these changes can be interpreted from seismic surveys.

Mesozoic and Cenozoic Sequence Stratigraphy of European Basins
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the Mesozoic-Cenozoic stratigraphic succession of western Europe can be subdivided into a series of transgressive-regressive facies cycles (second order, 3-50 m.y.).
