This study demonstrated the existence of outcropping Jurassic sequence Southward Jebel Rheouis of Central Tunisia.

Condensed facies and discontinuities attest that Jebel Bou Hedma area acted during Jurassic-Early Cretaceous, and probably even though later on, as a resistant paleo-high that should extend E–W along Bou Hedma-Ben Kreir area.

The Toarcian organic-rich facies, considered as a source-rock for the Jurassic petroleum play are absent in the study area.

The identification of a stratigraphic bed marker made of conglomeratic facies with mixed Kimmeridgian and Tithonian ammonite faunas attests of an important tectonically active setting with subsequent erosion and reworking during Late Jurassic-Earliest Cretaceous times.

The comparison of these newly discovered Jurassic series to lateral equivalents from the South-Tethyan Margin of the Maghreb, updated North–South and East-West transects through the Jurassic successions of the Central Tunisia and led to place them in their broader geodynamic context.
