Combined interpretation of gravity and seismic data from the coastal basins of Marocco

During the period 1983-84 a geophysical synthesis of several coastal basins in Morocco was carried out. The interpreted area included the Doukkala, Essaouira and Souss Basins. These are Mesozoic basins underlain by Palaeozoic unmetamorphosed rocks. The interpretation was based primarily on gravity data, together with additional information from seismic, aeromagnetic, outcrop and well data. An essential goal of this interpretation was the determination of the structure of the deep Palaeozic unconformity, which is hardly recognisable on the seismic sections.
