“…Bottleneck structures or "boudinage" of the layers (Elliot and Williams, 1988) are associated to this deformation pattern, also associated with sub-horizontal lenses (Corbett, 1973). Creeping features (Mulder and Cochonat, 1996) are coupled with rare fold and discontinuous limbs of consistent gravity-flow deposits (Fig.…”

Integrated in the peri-Adriatic domain, the Ionian Basin extended along a NW-SE direction during the Late Cretaceous, limited on its sides by the Apulian and the Kruja platforms. The basinal/slope succession was studied in seven outcrops exposed in the Albanian fold-and-thrust belt. Sedimentological investigations, supported by bio-and chronostratigraphy were performed on calcareous Upper Cretaceous hemipelagites, gravity-flow deposits and slumps. The western part of the basin was studied, revealing a strong influence of the Apulian margin, alternatively shedding sediment basinward, by means of a tectonically controlled edge. The Late Albian to Cenomanian period is characterized by the settling of muddy debrites along the margin. A deep basinal environment characterizes this period which prolongs until the Santonian, with no significant influx of the platform basinward. This sedimentary setting abruptly changed at the end of the Santonian, with an important influx derived from both platforms. Coarsening and thickening upward sequences show a progressive increase in sediment shedding during the Campanian. The Late Campanian-Early Maastrichtian period points out a major change on the resedimentation processes with the settling of several slumped units reworking thick sediment packages. The latter can be traced along the Apulian margin, testifying of instabilities along the edge of Apulia.

RESUMEDans la région d'AH Bou Gummez la série sédimentaire se présente al'affleurement en deux grandes unités lithologiques principales subdivisées en huit formations. La premiere est d' age has inférieur amoyen. Elle RESUMENEn la región de Ait Bou Gummez del Alto Atlas central, la serie sedimentaria está esencialmente constituida por dos grandes unidades compuestas a su vez por ocho formaciones. La primera unidad es de edad Lias Inferior-Medio y está formada por depósi-tos carbonatados masivos o laminados con lamelibranquios muy grandes. La segunda es de edad Lias Superior y está constituida mayoritariamente por sedimentos detríticos con yesos, arcillas, y carbonatos abigarrados (rojo, verde, ocre).El análisis tectónico y las correlaciones transversales y longitudinales de las secciones litoestratigráficas en la zona del accidente tectónico de Jebel Tizal-Azourki (ATA) de dirección N7ü a E-W, indican un régimen extensional N-S desde el Sinemuriense hasta el Domeriense-Toarciense. Esta extensión generó fallas normales N7ü a E-W y fallas transcurrentes NI5ü a NW-SE, dando lugar a un horst asimétrico. El eje de este horst se desvía lateralmente hasta hacerse paralelo al accidente de Tizi N'Tirghist. El primer movimiento extensional E-W empezó a principios del Carixiense y continuó durante el Domeriense-Toarciense. Los indicadores cinemáticos y la cronología relativa de las direcciones de extensión permiten reconocer la siguiente secuencia: 1) una extensión simple N-S subperpendicular a la dirección principal N7ü del accidente ATA durante al Sinemuriense, controlada por un esfuerzo principal mínimo 0'3 orientado N-S; 2) una extensión E-W que comenzó en el Carixiense, mientras todavía perduraba la extensión NS, paralelamente a la dirección principal N7ü, que anuncia el comienzo del régimen transtensivo controlado por un esfuerzo principal mínimo (0'3) de dirección NE-SW a NNE-SSW. Durante la compresión atlásica, el accidente ATA se reactiva como falla inversa cabalgante. La vergencia tanto al sur como al norte a lo largo del accidente ATA se podría explicar por el efecto de fallas transcurrentes de zócalo de dirección NE-SW y NW-SE. Estas fallas podrían haber originado las estructuras en Z y en S que aparecen a lo largo del Alto Atlas central de dirección EW.
