Abstract
The study of the fault system in the basement of the Western High Atla s leads to the evidence of decakilometric scale lenses. The shape of t he basement lenses changes across the inlier: West from the Ouzerllah promontory, they are bounded by N65 and N100 trending directions; East ward the limits are N80 and N110 trending: N20 trending directions occ ur into the promontory. The origin of the fault system is discussed, a s its role during the atlasic orogeny (upper Cainozoic times).
