| In September-October 1982, a joint German-French project to explore the Mazagan (El Jadida) escarpment and plateau was carried out with the French submersible sp 3000 Cyana . The main purpose of CYAMAZ cruise was to observe and sample the steepest part of the escarpment where previous works suggest that the oldest series (since Jurassic) of the infilling of the Central Atlantic Ocean are outcropping. In this paper the authors present the main outline and results of the eighteen dives operated during the CYAMAZ cruise. These results essentially concern the stratigraphy and structure of the sedimentary series outcropping along the Mazagan escarpment. The age of the sedimentary sequence ranges from Late Jurassic-Lower Neocomian until Plio-Pleistocene. Late... |

| The stratigraphy and structure of the old, starved passive margin of the Mazagan Plateau and the adjacent Escarpment which extends from 1,000-3,000 m water depth was studied during the cofinanced French-German CYAMAZ deep diving campaign which obtained 130 in-situ samples, supplemented by direct sea floor observations during 18 dive traverses. The facies evolution of the Mazagan carbonate platform between kimmeridgian and Valanginian times was mainly influenced by blockfaulting and sea-level fluctuations. Regressive periods occurred during Kimmeridgia/Tithonian and Late Berriasian times, and are separated by a late Tithonian/early Berriasian transgression. The drowning of the main carbonate platform and the Early Cretaceous to Paleogene history of the... |

| The Mazagan (El Jadida) plateau and escarpment constitute the seaward extension of the Moroccan Meseta. Sedimentary sequence began at least as long ago as the Triassic. A very dense seismic reflection survey (32 profiles at 1 n. mile spacing) and information from 18 Cyana dives on the Mazagan the construction of isochrom map of the depth of the acoustic basement constituted either by jurassic platform carbonates or by Paleozoic granodiorite to Precambrian (?) crystalline basement, and a detailed structural map. The carbonate platform is structured in a succession of tilted blocks from the plateau to the foot of the escarpment. During early Cretaceous times, an important phase of vertical structuration is marked by the denudation of the escarpment.... |
