Abstract The south-central Moroccan Jebilet Massif comprises several occurrences of late Paleozoic continental red-beds. These deposits have been interpreted to be of Pennsylvanian-Permian age based on lithofacies. Any other reliable age constraint for these rocks was hitherto lacking. Recent fieldwork in late Paleozoic red-beds of the Koudiat El Hamra - Haiane Basin, near the center of the Jebilet Massif, yielded a remarkable association of continental trace fossils. The assemblage includes invertebrate traces (Helminthoidichnites tenuis, Scoyenia gracilis, Sphaerapus larvalis and cf. Spongeliomorpha isp.) as well as tetrapod footprints (cf. Batrachichnus isp, Dromopus lacertoides, Hyloidichnus bifurcatus and cf. Tambachichnium isp.). The tetrapod footprints suggest a late early Permian (Artinskian) to middle Permian (Capitanian) age of the fossil-bearing strata. The Koudiat El Hamra - Haiane fossil ichnofauna is similar to the one from the north-central Moroccan Tiddas Basin, leading to the possibility that both basins developed contemporaneously.

摩洛哥杰比莱特地块二叠纪大陆痕迹化石的首次记录

摘要 摩洛哥中南部的 Jebilet 地块包括多处晚古生代大陆红层。根据岩相，这些矿床被解释为宾夕法尼亚-二叠纪时代。迄今为止，这些岩石没有任何其他可靠的年龄限制。最近在靠近 Jebilet 地块中心的 Koudiat El Hamra - Haiane 盆地的晚古生代红层中进行了实地考察，得出了大陆痕迹化石的显着关联。该组合包括无脊椎动物的踪迹（细长蠕虫、Scoyenia gracilis、Sphaerapus larvalis 和 cf. Spongeliomorpha isp.）以及四足动物的足迹（cf. Batrachichnus isp、Drompus lacertoides、Hyloidichnus.Tambachichn）。四足动物的脚印表明含化石地层的晚期早二叠世（阿廷斯基）至中二叠世（卡皮塔阶）时代。Koudiat El Hamra - Haiane 化石 ichnofauna 与来自中北部摩洛哥 Tiddas 盆地的化石相似，导致两个盆地同时发育的可能性。
