Abstract
This chapter contains several illustrative plates that accompanied the worksheets. The illustrations show the main lithological, textural and paleontological characteristics of the rock units from outcrop and microscope observations. Plates 1–4 illustrate the lithological characteristics and typical facies of some of the Permo-Triassic units, as observed from outcrop and well data. Plates 5–27 illustrate the lithological characteristics and typical facies of some of the Meso-Cenozoic carbonate shallow- and deep-water units. Plate 28 illustrates the lithological characteristics and typical facies of the Oligo-Miocene shales and sandstones of the Numidian flysch. Plate 29 illustrates the lithological characteristics and typical facies of some of the Miocene-Pliocene terrigenous, clastic, carbonate and evaporite units. Plates 30–33 illustrate the lithological characteristics and typical facies of the Quaternary continental and marine Unconformity-Bounded Stratigraphic Units (UBSUs).
