Nature du contact Sardaigne-Tunisie. son role tectonique

The analysis of the geological and geophysical data on the North African basin and its edges highlighted the importance of a group of accidents in the NE-SW direction, embodied by the Alboran and Emile-Baudot ridges and the northern Tunisian fracture zone. A recent work (Auzende et al., London, Feb. 1972) showed that this family of accidents could be interpreted as a unique system of transforming faults linked to the creation of the North African basin.
