  abstract = {{T}unisia is part of the south-{T}ethyan margin, which comprises {T}riassic evaporites and a thick series of {J}urassic and {C}retaceous, mainly marine deposits, related to the {T}ethyan rifting evolution. {A} survey of various {C}retaceous outcrops of central {T}unisia ({K}asserine-{E}l {K}ef area), combined with literature descriptions, shows that the style of {A}lbian deformation changes from the proximal ({S}outh) to the distal part ({N}orth) of the margin. {T}he southern part is dominated by tilted blocks and growth faults, which evolve to the north to turtle-back and roll-over structures. {F}arther {N}orth, deformation is dominated by the extrusion of diapirs and salt walls. {S}uch a distribution of deformation strongly suggests that the whole sedimentary cover glided northward on the {T}riassic evaporites during {A}lbian times, as described for the {A}tlantic passive margin or for the {G}ulf of {M}exico. {S}ubsequently, these halokinetic structures have been folded during {A}lpine compressional tectonics.},
