J. Outita col de Moussanoua, Atlas Mountains (Jurassic of Morocco)
Where: Morocco (34.0° N, 5.5° W: paleocoordinates 29.1° N, 3.2° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
When: Toarcian (182.7 - 174.1 Ma)
• perhaps Aalenian, but likely Toarcian
Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; dolomitic reef rocks
• les depots recifaux ou subrecifaux debutent des le Lias inferieur; ils sont amorces par des constructions de buttes de boue carbonatee, souvent dolomitisee et construites a partir d'organismes autres que les Madreporaires (Algues, Spongiaires). (interpreted as the reefs and subreef deposits begin in the lower Lias; they begin with the construction of carbonate mud mounds, which are often dolomitized and are composed in part of organisms other than coral (algae, sponges))
Size class: macrofossils
