On a paleogeographic level, three reef regions have been evidenced: a septentrional reef region where the paleoenvironmental spectrum is complete and where the biosedimentary dynamic was very varied in space and time, a central reef region where the environments were monotonnous and of an internal platform type and finally a meridional reef region exclusively characterising a reef wall. This north-south paleoenvironmental polarity was probaly and partly controlled by the irregular marine substrate which, in this region of Tazouta and since the first phases of reef bioconstructions, was marked by a deltaic marine front with fan-shaped lobesspaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ReefsCoralline algaeCoralsPalaeoenvironmentPalaeogeographyLate MioceneSouth Rifan CorridorMoroccojournal articleopen access
