摘要: Abstract New structural investigations performed within the Barremo-Aptian basins of Northern Cameroon allow us to specify their tectono-sedimentary history. They are asymmetrical synsedimentary synclines superimposed on half-grabens. The lattr represent sinistral transtensive structures which opened in response a N160 extension that occurred during times. This opening regime is different from large Albo-Aptian trough such as Benue trough. According our recent hypothesis these successie extensions could be related diachronic evolution South Atlantic Ocean.
