ABSTRACT
The research work will be continue for a correlation between the
Albo-Aptian across North Africa to focused on sedimentological, tectonic
and paleontological study of Albo-Aptian formations massive El
Hmaima-North of Algeria.
A systematic study was then initiated consisting of the sampling in a
washing furniture samples of some Albian levels, and a careful sorting
of microfossils and minerals under the lens of binocular microscope.
Hard samples Aptian were processed by making a thin section to help
determine as precisely as possible the characteristics of the levels
studied. The material used is existing in geology lab. Tébessa
University, Algeria. The massive El Hmaima North
Tébessa was located on the territory of the
municipality of Boulhef Dyr, Daira of Morsott.
Aptian-Albian is characterized by carbonate deposits rich in organic
matter levels. This interval is marked by a large marine transgression
typically connected to a eustatic rise in second order by tectonic
events related to the opening of the western part of the Mediterranean
sea and / where the rifting of the central Atlantic and conditions
paleogeographic.
