Abstract

Dinosaur tracks are reported from three new localities near Imilchil, in the Central High Atlas of Morocco. New dinosaur track assemblages are recognized in Bathonian and Bajocian beds. The Bathonian track assemblage comprises theropod, sauropod and ornithopod footprints. The Bajocian deposits contain a sauropod-thyreophoran track assemblage.
