New tectono-sedimentary evidences for Aptian to Santonian extension of the Cretaceous rifting in the northern Chotts range (southern Tunisia)

► We used new data to examine inheritance Cretaceous structure pattern of Atlassic front. ► Most faults were active during Aptian-Albian times of rifting stage. ► Lower Cretaceous rifting structure are sealed by Coniacian-Santonian post-rift deposits.
