North African Cretaceous Carbonate Platform Systems

North African Cretaceous Carbonate Platform Systems edited by Eulàlia Gili, Mohamed El Hédi Negra, Peter W. Skelton.

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 Car...
