The Eocene carbonate platforms of the westernmost Tethys: a review

12/23/2024 / Leave a comment

According to the prevailing view in literature, two Eocene carbonate platform belts developed on northern and southern margins of the Tethys Ocean. However, Eocene platforms in the Malaguide −Ghomaride Units (Betic-Rifian Arc; Spain and Morocco, respectively) in intermediate position to the classic platform belts have been proposed in recent literature. A number of representative Ypresian […]

The Eocene carbonate platforms of the Ghomaride Domain (Internal Rif Zone, N Morocco): a segment of the westernmost Tethys

09/27/2023 / Leave a comment

The Eocene platform deposits in the Moroccan Ghomarides have been studied. These marine carbonate platforms were located in the westernmost Tethys approximately 30°N and 0°–10°W during the Cuisian to Bartonian. The study includes observations from fossiliferous assemblages (such as larger benthic foraminifera and colonial corals), their palaeoenvironment aswell as rock texture and fabric. Eight microfacieswere identified that represent different […]
