Paleozoic Rocks of Tunisia: Concept, nomenclature, and their relationship with North Africa

This book offers a thorough examination of the Paleozoic units in southern Tunisia, presenting important new understandings. It explores several topics, including mineralogy, chemostratigraphy, petroleum systems, basin-scale geometry, structural contexts, and lithostratigraphy with which it presents lithostratigraphic distribution maps of the different paleozoic units in a regional context. It is considered an attempt to provide readers with a broad overview by combining several previously published works into a single delivery.Particular geological features and resources in southern Tunisia are explored in the book, including sediments from the Ordovician glacial period, anoxic episodes at various times, and oil and gas shale in unconventional reservoirs. The book seeks to offer academics, students, and geology enthusiasts a thorough resource on the Paleozoic geological history of southern Tunisia and its connection with North Africa. Furthermore, because it examines unconventional reservoirs and the existence of oil and gas shale resources in the area, professionals in the oil and gas industry will find the book pertinent. The book's conclusions and insights can be used as a starting point for additional studies and investigations in the area. See more
