This study reconstructs the tectonic evolution and lithofacies palaeogeographic development of North Africa from the Cambrian to the Devonian through an integrated analysis of seismic,well-log,and core data. Emphasis is placed on evaluating how major tectonic events—interacting with eustatic sea-level fluctuations and climatic shifts—controlled sedimentary processes and basin architecture in the region. Results indicate that during the Cambrian-Ordovician,a depression basin dominated the western craton margin of the Tethys domain;progressive climatic cooling and continental glaciation led to the transition from braided fluvial systems to glaciogenic deposits. In the Silurian,rifting associated with the initial opening of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean triggered widespread marine transgression,resulting in the deposition of organic-rich shales in the Lower Silurian. Subsequent late Silurian regression facilitated the development of deltaic and fluvial systems. During the Devonian,the Hercynian orogeny profoundly reconfigured regional basin geometry,establishing a passive continental margin. Fluvial(braided and meandering)systems were progressively replaced by deltaic and shallow-marine environments;persistent bottom-water anoxia in the Late Devonian favored the accumulation and preservation of high-quality source rocks. Collectively,this work elucidates the synergistic controls exerted by tectonics,eustasy,and climate on the paleogeographic evolution of North Africa,identifies prospective hydrocarbon reservoir fairways,and provides a robust geological framework to guide future petroleum exploration.
