Abstract
The detailed sedimentological study of the Senonian in the Wanina basin of Aït Ourir basins attached to the northern slope of the High Atlas Marrakech, gave the deposit silty carbonato-evaporite, which are carried out in an environment of type sebkha where alternate phases of detrital inputs, under a hot and arid climate and in conditions of bridging favoring the installation of evaporite deposition, and the phases of carbonate deposits more marine installed under the action of a slight increase in sea level degenerating quickly, in an upper intertidal temporarily emerged. In general these carbonate benches mark to their surfaces a rupture of the sedimentation that is materialized by ferruginous hardened surfaces.
