Abstract
The hercynian belt of Morocco is divided into several domains on the basis of the style and the timing of the main Hercynian orogenic event.
By its geographic position, at the northwestern corner of Africa as well by the wide range, from Precambrian to Tertiary, of the represented deposits, Morocco offers a particular interest for geologic correlations, espacially for the reconstruction of the circum-Atlantic Paleozoic belts. Several structural domains can be described, each of them characterized by its own geologic history and by the timing and the intensity of the main deformation.
