Abstract
 Two dissolution surfaces, capped by phosphatic crusts that contain up to 40 wt.% of P2O5. are well exposed in the latest Ediacaran Tabia Member (Adoudou Formation) of the Ounein(iの頭は¨) region, High Atlas. Both the Tabia dolostones and capping phosphorites are crosscut by several generations of synsedimentary faults, fissures, and hydrothermal dikes hosting Cu ore bodies, in a scenario of down-faulted blocks. Stratigraphic and facies relationships suggest the preservation of a major pulse of intra-cratonic rifting., responsible for the development of an unstable carbonate platform subjected to sharp uplift and tilting perturbations and dissolution processes, associated with hydrothermal dike-swarm injection. The whole framework is sealed with the Tamjout Bed (Tifnout Member), which marks the end of abundant regional tilting (syn-rift phase) and the beginning of a thermal subsidence-dominated regime (post-rift phase) in the Moroccan margin of West Gondwana.
