  At Zaghouan locality, north eastern Tunisia, significant sedimentary ores took place (e.g. sand, clay, limestone…). This sedimentary ores were largely extended and covered partially by quaternary deposits. In this paper, multidiscipline approaches with petrographic, mineralogical, chemical and geotechnical analyses were involved to valorize these materials in various industrial uses. The carbonates of the Lower Jurassic (Oust Formation) present good criteria and higher quality to be use in engineering application moreover huge reserves. The gray carbonates of the Lower Jurassic (Oust Formation) are constituted by limestones with packstone or grainstone texture, with relatively abundant lithoclasts which are well coated by a micritic matrix. Mineralogical studies reveal the presence of calcite with a small content of quartz and dolomite. The major element compositions of this li.. Read More»
