Abstract
The Moroccan Palaeozoic displays a common evolution in sedimentology and biostratigraphy throughout Morocco from Cambrian to Early Devonian times: platform sedimentation in the north and northeast passes south into three basins:
-
a)
the Tindouf Basin, south of the South Atlas Fault; (Col. 31, Poole et al., this volume, p. 75);
-
b)
the Central Morocco Basin (Meseta and western High Atlas) (Col. 30);
-
c)
the allochthonous Palaeozoic within the Alpine Rif chain.
