Le remplissage synrift au permien et au trias du bassin de Tahanaout (Haut Atlas de Marrakech, Maroc) géodynamique et organisation sédimentaire

Abstract

The perno-triasic basin of Tahanaout reflects a tectono-sedimentary organization typical of synrift basins. The genetic modes of its replenishment, reviewed in light of the sedimentary heterogeneity and the position of the sediments reveal an evolution in 3 episodes: individualization, differentiation and homogenization. The tectonics expresses itself every time, by a reorganization of the deposit areas, a dissymmetry of the syntectonic gutters and structures in the tilled blocks, within a NS extensional regime (episode 1) and NW-SE even (episode 11 and 111). The intermediate sequences follow each other in sequences of deposit that reflect and evolve in fluvio-deltaic environments, since the cone toward the alluvial or deltaic plain according to a topographic gradient. The sedimentary model suggests the existance basins in vertical relays in severa1 lateral progradation phases interrupted by phases of silt-clay sedimentary aggradations. The generalized semi-arid climate and the closed country environment plays an important role in the configuration of this type of basins, whose borders are essentially clastics, of an extended alluvial plain.
