Abstract
In the High Atlas realm, early in the Upper Triassic, marine advances are suggested by sedimentary structures, fossils and boron content of illite. Sea water could have invadec parts of the incipient High Atlas rift system until block tilting caused generalized regression and non -marine deposition. The Tethyan domain might be closer than previously inferred with marine pathways located to the North of the Moroccan Me seta.
