Azilal Formation

1424:, all places that were subaerially exposed during the Jurassic. Specifically, the Anti-Atlas shows processes of tectonic uplift, overburden erosion, which, combined with the concentration of coarse siliciclastic material in the western part of the central High Atlas (absent in the east), suggest that this area was the source of the altered Lower Toarcian sediments, allowing the tracing of the fluvial channels that developed towards the Azilal Formation. The surrounding highlands probably hosted dry cool (10.6 °C) to humid climate (12.30 °C), with a succession rain tundra to wet forest environments, as proven by samples from coeval layers in the 2593: 732:. Over this unit the limit with the Azilal formation is marked with a karstified subaerial exposure surface, that wears also great abundance of plant material, what overall implicates prograding terrestrial facies and a shrinking of the local carbonate platform width. The base of the East Azilal Formation is not clear, there is a gradual passage between the underlying limestones of the Aganane Formation and the red pelites of the Azilal Formation. The upper limit is marked by a progressive transition to Bin-el-Ouidane limestones with the limit fixed at the base of the first massive limestones, generally “birds eyes”. 1368:
paralic-tidal deposits, and tidal mudflat shorelines. This terrigenous deposition can be seen from north to south as a lateral transition from a coastal facies to a fluvial facies (at Adoumaz) to a foreshore facies (Ghnim "fining up" type sequences) to a beach facies (Jbel Taguendouft "coarsening up" type sequences). The formation's sedimentary features include raindrop impacts and ripple marks indicating channel/floodplain type fluvial system, with sand-filled channels abundant in plant roots (mostly located in fine limestone, probably from the channel margins), along with evidence of ephemeral

The formation also shows evidence of erosion from nearby highlands,as indicates abundant pebbles of metamorphic and igneous rocks, implying that the material must have been derived from the 2053: 453: 1298: 117: 1880: 1334: 1356: 1307: 370: 1396:, being these collected and transported by a poorly developed river system during episodic floods. This is recorded specially in the Telouet and Demnate-Wazzant area, but also seen in more detail at Toundoute: the deposits present another channelized floodplain type fluvial system, filled with sand and plant roots/cuticles developed in E-W direction of transit, enriched by both older reworked material and unique interbedded 2396: 460: 2120: 687:, develops a thick a red detrital section in which pelites, sandstones and conglomerates with centimeter-sized quartz balls alternate and breccias (locally called " Wazzant Formation") with Liassic limestone elements, this last ones except near paleofaults, do not appear or have been dissolved.

This unit brings together sandstones, sometimes coarse or conglomeratics, especially red silts and some irregularly bedding carbonate horizons (lacustrine limestones?) as well as rarer coal beds. 1103:, conglomerates with multicolored quartz balls of centimeter diameter are the major unique trait of the Azilal Formation.
