Summary

Description
Français : Sommet d'une séquence émersive "shallowing upward" dans le dépôt argileux d'une lagune quaternaire asséchée ou "chott", région de Zarzis, Tunisie (voir Davaud, Strasser & M'Rabet, 1991, livret guide). En jaune, des laminations algaires dolomitisées en milieu intertidal; en gris cristaux de gypse supratidal. Des exemples fossiles identiques sont décrits dans le Lias moyen du Haut Atlas (-190 Ma) et figurés par Septfontaine (1985) au Maroc. Au sommet des séquences émersives autocycliques, le gypse est dissous ou métamorphosé en calcite.
