“…From Toarcian times, carbonate platforms developed in the margins of the central High Atlas basin [ Pierre et al, ; Amour et al, ], whereas the basin axis was occupied by a mixed carbonate‐siliciclastic platform system prograding eastward to basinal deposits [ Frizon de Lamotte et al, ]. This mixed system progressively graded to an extensive shallow water carbonate platform of Bajocian to lower Bathonian in age that is recognized throughout the central High Atlas [ Ait Addi and Chafiki, ].…”

“…Representing an ENE-WSW trending intracontinental fold-thrust belt, the High Atlas Mountain range was formed during the Cenozoic by the inversion of a Fig. 1 Geological location map (modified from Saadi et al, 1985 andChafiki, 2013) Oldest Gondwanan record of Strophodus Triassic-Jurassic rift system (Beauchamp et al, 1996;Frizon de Lamotte et al, 2008;Jacobshagen et al, 1988). The basinal fill of this rift system, which was initiated by the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean as the result of the dislocation of Pangaea, mainly consists of Early and Middle Jurassic marls and limestones with intercalated carbonate build-ups referred to the Agoudim and Tazigzaout formations (Ait Addi, 2000Ait Addi & Chafiki, 2013).…”

“…1 Geological location map (modified from Saadi et al, 1985 andChafiki, 2013) Oldest Gondwanan record of Strophodus Triassic-Jurassic rift system (Beauchamp et al, 1996;Frizon de Lamotte et al, 2008;Jacobshagen et al, 1988). The basinal fill of this rift system, which was initiated by the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean as the result of the dislocation of Pangaea, mainly consists of Early and Middle Jurassic marls and limestones with intercalated carbonate build-ups referred to the Agoudim and Tazigzaout formations (Ait Addi, 2000Ait Addi & Chafiki, 2013). The upper Agoudim Formation corresponds to the Agoudim Members III and IV, whose stratigraphic range is early to probably late Bajocian (Ait Addi, 2015;Bodin et al, 2017).…”

“…The deposits are marls, limestones, and gravity‐flow deposits corresponding to ramp‐type to a shoal‐rimmed morphology, while the basin deepened and the fault movement accelerated (Quiquerez et al, ; Wilmsen & Neuweiler, ). The Toarcian‐Early Bajocian is characterized by a shallowing‐upward cycle that begins with Toarcian marls and marly shales with ammonites and ends with shallow marine carbonate constructions and reefs (Ait Addi & Chafiki, ). This reflects increasing topography of the ridges and deepening of the depocenters in the central areas.…”
