Abstract
During Late Triassic and Early Liassic times, sedimentary rocks, clast ics and salt, and tholeiitic flows accumulated infaulted basins in Mor occo. All of these rocks show evidence of a thermal episode, stronger in the Atlantic and Atlantic domains. Dated around 200 Ma, this episod e corresponds to the synrift metamorphism, that vanishes during the Mi ddle Liassic.
