This volume arises from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW)
on 'North African Cretaceous rudist and coral formations and their
contributions to carbonate platform development , which was held in
Tunisia, on 13-18 May, 2002. It was convened by M. El Hedi Negra
(Universite 7 Novembre de Carthage, now Universite de Tunis El
Manar, Tunisia) and Eulalia Gili (Universitat Autonoma de
Barcelona, Spain). The aims of the ARW were: (1) to review and
critically assess currently available data on rudist/coral
formations in North African Cretaceous carbonate platforms, and
their correlations, and to integrate these data with other studies
around the Mediterranean; (2) to place the findings in a global
context, noting both similarities with other regions of platform
development as well as local differences, and (3) exploring
possible reasons for these; and to help promote the creation of a
vibrant peri-Mediterranean collaborative research community,
embracing researchers from the entire region, to carry forward this
ambitious research programme. Twenty-two presentations (oral and
poster) provided both topical reviews (covering rudist evolution,
and ecology, mineralogical changes, applications of strontium
isotope, and graphic correlation methods, and platform typology) as
well as regional syntheses (Tunisian reservoirs, Moroccan platform
history, Tunisian platforms and rudist/coral facies, Algerian
platforms, and Egyptian platforms). Fifteen of these presentations
are expanded here as papers. The workshop was attended by 24
academic staff, 4 geologists from the oil industry, plus several
observers and students.
