Abstract:
The sedimentological analysis of the lower Cretaceous red deposits in the Boumalne Dades region (Central High Atlas) presented in this article is based on field observations associated with sedimentological methods (morphoscopy, exoscopy, and mineralogy determination of clays) conducted to investigate the paleo-environment of this study area. The analysis of the surface of the quartz grains with a binocular magnifier and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), allowed us to reconstruct their formation environment. Exoscopic analysis allowed the characterization of a mixture of quartz morphotypes. The results obtained reveal numerous indications of short- and long-distance transport, which reflect different environments (continental to marine environment). The paleo environments of the units revealed by sedimentology are essentially continental with marine influences. Specifically, an alluvial fin is recorded at the base of the Ifezouane Formation at unit 1 and a fluvial meandering medium (unit 2) at the top of the same formation; the deposits of the Ifezouane Formation correspond to a floodplain at the base (unit 3) and a playa at the top (unit 4).
