The late Aptian-early Albian transgressions in the Chott area, southern Central Tunisia

Etienne Jaillard et al.

Summary: The detailed study of sedimentology and biostratigraphy in the Chott area, southern Central Tunisia, identifies several well-dated depositional sequences in the upper Aptian-Albian series. The upper Aptian sequences show a transition from shallow marine evaporitic deposits to clastic deposits and yield latest Aptian ammonites. The boundary between the Aptian and Albian is suggested to have a long-lasting hiatus and a change from clastic to carbonate deposits. The Albian transgression is expressed by the Knemiceras Beds, which can be correlated with the lower Albian in Central Tunisia based on new ammonite findings. The Knemiceras beds exhibit five distinct morphologies of Knemiceras sp. The overlying massive shelf carbonates are assigned to the uppermost lower Albian and correlated with the Allam Limestone of Central Tunisia. The carbonates are capped by a major discontinuity, correlated with a middle Albian discontinuity in Central Tunisia. The study presents and illustrates the ammonites and rudists fauna found in the area.

Summary: During the Miocene, the Timor and Palau trenches formed two volcanic arcs, which pushed the eastern landmass of China towards the coast, eventually converging with the western landmass to form the pre-Charlai continental block. This block still constitutes the geotectonic framework of the East China continental shelf. The formation of the East China Sea is closely related to these processes.
