The Cretaceous System was first established by Jean Baptiste Julien d'Omalius d'Halloy based on his geological mapping of France and the adjacent areas Low Countries Northern Italy. His map, which published in 1822, has a legend with rock unit identified as ‘ Terrain Crétacé ’, that birth we still use today. Unlike many other systems, there no definitive publication. Cretaceous, currently defined, occupies interval time from 145 to 66 Ma, making it one longest Phanerozoic. includes both icehouse greenhouse (even hothouse) conditions, much is characterized exceptionally high sea levels.

The Cretaceous marine sediments of Morocco and adjacent coastal basins provide an outstanding archive environmental diversity from extended shelf seas marginal along the Atlantic Tethyan margins to deep oceanic western Tethys eastern Ocean. geological highlights Morocco's fascinating landscape include records Lower deep-water clastic sequences in Rif mountain chain (submarine fan systems Massylian Mauretanian flysch units), as well siliciclastic sedimentary subsiding (TanTan Delta), which extend offshore NW African margin. Vestiges Aptian Turonian greenhouse climate, sea-level highstands anoxic events are exceptionally preserved successions Rif, transgressive pulses on Moroccan Meseta, Sahara platform High Atlas rift system. Furthermore, expressions tectonic movements between European plates associated with end climate changes documented chain, basins, massive phosphorite sedimentation Middle Atlas, Meseta platform. archives still retain untapped potential further contribute our understanding global eustatic response oceans biota upwelling driven oxygen minimum zones under conditions.
