摘要: The transition from the Cambrian to Ordovician in Morocco is known be characterized by a frequent Furongian hiatus, restricted extension of Tremadocian marine deposits, and unconformities at base transgressive upper Floian deposits. In present work, we first highlight occurrence Fe- mica-rich, red silty/sandy formations Central Eastern High Atlas between Middle Upper sequences. Tislyt type-locality, synsedimentary hemigraben structure defined, within which beds show slump folds, debris flows internal unconformities. correlation with several coeval series Meseta domain allows us define shallow marine, ferruginous clastic Atlas-Meseta Red Beds (AMRB) basin during Tremadocian-early Floian. AMRB extended coastal block Anti-Atlas domain, being limited fault zones that became West shear zone South fault, respectively, Variscan orogen. compares rifted basins central Iberian Armorican massifs. were likely sourced east, both Precambrian basement Early magmatic rocks, contrary deposits Sahara platform south. Subsidence Iberian-Armorican NW-Gondwana border aborted Floian, whereas opening Rheic ocean went on more west.
