Abstract

New biostratigraphical data based on foraminifers, algae and pseudoalgae indicate that the limestone pebbles of the channelized polygenic conglomerates of the Migoumess formation contain Late Visean (V3bγ-V3c) assemblages. That confirms the Westphalian age attributed to this formation by Hollard Zdt. Geol. Ges. 129 (1978) 495-512. The Tournaisian age assigned to it by palynology C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, série II 310 (1990) 1573-1576 cannot be retained. The Tirhela formation, Late Visean and Serpukhovian (El) in age, is coeval with the Akerchi formation Berkhli, thèse d’état, 1999; Berkhli et al., J. Afr. Earth Sci. (accepté). The Idmarrach formation, mapped as a thrust sheet C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, série II 310 (1990) 1573-1576, is dated as Serpukhovian (E1) and its thrusting is consequently post-Serpukhovian. Palaeogeographic and geodynamic consequences are listed. © 2002 Académie des sciences/éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS.
