The biostratigraphical study of planktic and benthic foraminifera, and ostracod assemblages in the Fguira Salah section (Fahs area, Zaghouan region, NE Tunisia) aims to determine the age of these series for the first time. The vertical distribution of the ostracod species allows to distinguish five...
