Eastern Anti Atlas Phanerozoic Granular Iron Formations (IFs): Nomenclature and Classification, Case of Ordovician Basin of Tafilalt

ABSTRACT

In Morocco, thevariety of ferruginous resources (dated Archean, Paleozoic and Mesozoic) shows a specific character illustrating the relationship between the geographic position and the geodynamic setting which allows deposition of several iron mineralized structures. The sedimentary iron is well manifested in the Paleozoicterranes, and assigns great relation with the Hercynean geodynamic regime, which marks the Gondwanean environment during this time. The results of these processes manifest as the establishment of exploitable iron Formations deposit situated in the Tafilalt Ordovician basin of the eastern Anti Atlas of Morocco.
