Abstract
A Lower Burdigalian clayey-turbiditic formation lying on the Beni Hozm ar Ghomaride nappe has been found at Boujarrah (NNE of Tetouan). It sh ows very different facies, deeper than those of the older Fnideq forma tion. The new data corroborate, in the Rif, the existence of two sedim entary cycles within the ''Oligo-Miocene'' successions of the Betic-Ri fian internal zones. The boundary between both cycles coincides with t he end of the emplacement of the internal nappes towards the Aquitania n-Burdigalian transition.
