“…There, ~1 m of variegated red, grey, and dark grey mudstone is present just below the basalt, similar but thinner, to the sequence at Nif El Gour in the Khémisset Basin. Within 5 km to the east, down-dip is at least 20 m of halite in contact with the overlying basalt as seen in the PB43 core (Afenzar & Essamoud, 2017) close to the Société Sel de Mohammedia Mine (subsurface rock salt mine at 33.630031°, -7.330232°). As in the Argana sections, rapid changes in bed thickness occur laterally, even at small outcrops (text Fig.…”

Multiple lines of evidence suggest that volcanic and thermogenic gas emanations from the voluminous eruptions of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) triggered the end-Triassic mass extinction. However, a comparison of the timing and duration of the biotic and environmental crises with the timing and duration of the magmatic activity is difficult with existing data, especially when comparing the sedimentary archives below radioisotopically dated CAMP lavas. Here, we report multiple iridium anomalies interpreted to be the remnants of weathered basaltic ashes or aerosols of CAMP eruptions from three basins across a 15° swath of paleolatitude. Milankovitch-controlled climate cycles pace the lacustrine strata of these basins, and in conjunction with paleomagnetic reversal stratigraphy and abundant palynological data, allow us to constrain the timing of magmatic events to be coincident with the extinctions. Thus, platinum group element concentrations provide geochemical traces of CAMP eruptions and can serve as potential proxies for CAMP eruptive pulses in both marine and nonmarine Triassic-Jurassic boundary successions, permitting evaluation of correlations worldwide.

“…The abundant local clay from the region of El Gara (33°16' 42.7"N 7°13' 39.6" W) was used to prepare the studied mixtures. This region is part of the Triassic basin of Mohammedia-Benslimane-El Gara-Berrechid (Afenzar and Essamoud, 2017). Particle size analysis of clays is carried out according to the method described by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (ASTM, 1972).…”

This study offers a simple solution to manufacture ceramic tiles with good technical and hygienic properties. This solution consists of integrating the phosphate product from Morocco in the industrial formulation of ceramic tiles, to produce materials in compliance with the criterion of the ISO standard. For phosphate products, three grades were studied: HG-high grade, MG-medium grade, and LG-low grade. The results show that for materials containing these additives, there is both an effect of the concentration and type of additive on technical and hygienic properties. The mechanical property is improved when the incorporated component was richer in P2O5. Only the use of HG-high grade and MG-medium grade as an additive at least 15% makes it possible to satisfy the mechanical requirement. The anti-biofilm effect of natural phosphate (PN) as an additive to manufacture ceramic tiles is confirmed, it may prevent bio adhesion and biofilm formation at almost 75% for the HG-high grade and MG-medium grade. This solution could interest professionals and all users who care about the state of hygiene of their ceramic materials sensible to the formation of biofilm, like orthopaedic implants, swimming pool tile…etc.
