Abstract :

The research work will be continued for a correlation between the Albo-Aptian across North Africa to focus 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 washing furniture samples of some Albian levels and a careful sorting of microfossils and minerals under the lens of binocular microscope was done. Hard samples of Aptian were processed by making a thin section to help determine as precisely as possible the characteristics of the levels studied. The material used still exists in geology lab, Tébessa University, Algeria. The massive El Hmaima North Tébessa was located in 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 there is the of the central Atlantic and conditions are paleogeographic.
