Dinoflagellate cyst evidence for the age, palaeoenvironment and paleoclimate of a new Cretaceous–Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary section at the Bou Angueur syncline, Middle Atlas, Morocco

In this paper, we present results of a palynological analysis of the phosphate succession from the northern flank of the Bou Angueur syncline in the Middle Atlas (central Morocco). The studied interval yielded a well-preserved and diverse palynological content, dominated by dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts), allowing a detailed taxonomic study of dinocyst and a new biostratigraphic dating of the section. The studied section is assigned to the...
