“Great post GRH.
This is simply OFF the scale. Too big to totally comprehend.
7,000 SQ KM filled by Tortonian to Quaternary sediments with thicknesses locally in excess of 2000 m (Colletta, 1977).
Sediments were settled in different environments: continental, lagoon and marine.
There are four tight anti- clines (ridges) separated by large synclines (depocenters). They are affected by major faults.
NE-SW (he most dominant one),follows generally the Moulouya river.,
and E-W grabens /half grabens and horsts controlled by NE-SW and E-W faults.
These acted as significant synsedimentary slip faults, reaching the Paleozoic basement .
The NW-SE faults can be interpreted as synsedimentary Jurassic transverse strike-slip normal faults.
Readers should sit down and look up sysedimentary growth faults.
