	Thorough sedimentological and palaeontological analyses of four expanded&amp;nbsp;Upper Cretaceous&amp;nbsp;sections in northern Tademait had allowed us to address and reconsider the stratigraphical framework of the so-called ‘Continental Intercalary’ and ‘Hamada series’ in this remote Saharan area. These four sections (i.e., Meguidene, Gara Samani, Oued El Mezaourou-Gour Louazouaza, and El Menia) document&amp;nbsp;Upper Cretaceous&amp;nbsp;strata overlying post-Palaeozoic substrata and ranging from the clastic Gara Samani Formation (of supposed early&amp;nbsp;Cenomanian&amp;nbsp;age), through the El Golea Clays (lower–middle Cenomanian), the Gour Louazouaza Formation (lowermost upper&amp;nbsp;Cenomanian, with the Oued El Mezaourou Limestone Member ranging from the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Neolobites vibrayeanus&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Vascoceras gamai&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;ammo&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/ammonite&quot;&gt;nite&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;zones of the uppermost Cenomanian, and the Marls of Gara Mta El Mar Member of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Choffaticeras sinaiticum&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;ammonite&amp;nbsp;Zone in the lower, but not lowermost, Turonian), to the Ain El-Hadjaj Formation (of alleged&amp;nbsp;Campanian&amp;nbsp;age). Most efforts have concentrated on the ‘mid’-Cretaceous deposits that yield vertebrates and diversified ammonite and macrofossil assemblages. In spite of these improved correlations, further bio-chronostratigraphical data are needed in order to constrain the stratigraphical gap within the Gour Louazouaza Formation at the Cenomanian–Turonian boundary (C/TB) better. The succession studied can be correlated with other similar-aged sections in&amp;nbsp;North Africa&amp;nbsp;and illustrates the development of braided fluvial and aeolian dune-interdune environments followed by a ramp depositional system in response to the early&amp;nbsp;Late Cretaceous&amp;nbsp;second-order&amp;nbsp;sea level rise&amp;nbsp;along the southern margin of the&amp;nbsp;Tethys.
