“…These updated biostratigraphic and observations data confirm the hypotheses of an interbeded Triassic material as previously announced on field [8,28,39,42,66] and in subsurface study [4,5,36,61]. Within the southern part of the studied area, the evaporitic Triassic and red beds form a melange with only Early Albian limestone dipping under the Triassic mass (Fig.…”

“…The Tunisian Tell and Atlas has been considered for decades as a paradigmatic region for the study of diapiric structures in an external foreland thrust belt (e.g., Amri et al., 2020; Ayed‐Khaled et al., 2015; Bedir et al., 2001; Ben Chelbi et al., 2006; Melki et al., 2010; Perthuisot, 1981; Troudi et al., 2017; Vila, 1995). Diapiric intrusions of Triassic evaporites are interpreted as related to Cretaceous rifting of the North Maghrebian passive margin, extruding to the surface as thousand km 2 large salt glaciers or canopies (Amri et al., 2020; Ayed‐Khaled et al., 2015; Ghanmi et al., 2001; Masrouhi & Koyi, 2012; Masrouhi et al., 2014; Vila, 1995; Vila et al., 1996; Zouaghi et al., 2013).…”

“…These tectono-palaeogeographical domains were established after seven successive geodynamic events that can be summarized as follows (Fig. 2): Caledonian and Hercynian orogenesis in the Devonian–Silurian and Permian (Bédir et al , 2001); Tethyan rifting in the Jurassic, Triassic and lower Cretaceous (Bédir et al , 2001); Alpine orogenesis of the Austrian phase; Early Pyrenean orogenesis in the uppermost Cretaceous; Late Pyrenean orogenesis in the Palaeocene–Eocene; Rifting from the Middle Miocene to the Langhian; Alpine and Atlasic orogenesis of the upper Miocene and Quaternary. It has been proposed that the decline in sea levels and intensification of erosion from the Palaeozoic to the lower Cretaceous is responsible for the large inflow of illite and kaolinite in the area (Jamoussi, 2001; Jamoussi et al , 2003). The mineralogical variations of the Palaeozoic are probably caused by the various orogeneses, because the climate can affect the clay sedimentation only during periods of tectonic stability.…”
