Late Cretaceous synsedimentary diapirism of Bazina–Sidi Bou Krime Triassic evaporites (northern Tunisia): Geodynamic implications

The structural and sedimentary analyses of the surrounding area of the Bazina–Sidi Bou Krime Triassic outcrops (Hedil country, northern Tunisia) show that the geodynamic evolution of this sector has been mainly guided by the diapiric movement of this evaporitic mass in association with synsedimentary extensive tectonics. These results allowed us to imply a new interpretation which excludes the presence of the “Kasseb unit” in the Hedil country (northern Tunisia).
