Imi-n-Ifri Formation

The Imi-n-Ifri Formation contains extensive limestone and dolomite deposits that extend across 9,000 square meters of land in the High Atlas region.

During the Sinemurian period of the Early Jurassic, marine sediments accumulated in this area, creating layers of carbonate rocks that preserve ancient environmental conditions.

Local Berber communities in the Souss-Massa-Drâa region maintain traditional agricultural practices while living near this geological site of scientific importance.

Visitors can reach the formation by taking regional roads from Marrakech to Demnate, with the site located approximately 6 kilometers from the town center.

The formation contains preserved ornithopod dinosaur tracks, providing evidence of prehistoric reptile activity in what was once a shallow marine environment.
