Where: Morocco (32.5° N, 2.0° W: paleocoordinates 25.1° N, 0.1° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
When: Pliensbachian (190.8 - 182.7 Ma)
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))
