Depart from Fez Airport. To Medalt mines Minerals
Day 2 salinité Byrite
Aouli and Mibladen mines, the town of Midelt
Day 3 collectors.
Its flagship crystal, the splendid vanadinite, has made and still makes Midelt a pole of attraction for mineral lovers.
Alongside vanadinite, this stone, which has become rare today following the closure of the mines, there are other crystals exploited in an artisanal manner in Midelt and the region: cerussite, wulfenite,

fossil STROMATOLITES or STROMATOLITHES are limestone structures in the form of superimposed sheets, built by colonies of bacteria. Today, Stromatolites are considered fossil rocks. Stromatolites have existed since the Archean (- 3.5 billion years ago) and developed until the Cambrian (- 500 million years ago).

AGE : Devonian (370 million years old)
Day 9 kam kam dinosaurs
This is a 2″ tall vertebra of a small dinosaur. It comes from the Late Cretaceous, Kem Kem Beds of Morocco, home to the meat eating giants, Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. The spinous process is mostly intact, along with the points of articulation. The transverse processes are broken and there is some gap fill restoration to the ventral side of the body.
The Kem Kem Group is famous for yielding a diverse Late Cretaceous vertebrate assemblage, including fish, reptiles, and dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus. These fossils are found in a thin bed that outcrops around the edge of a large plateau near Taouz, Morocco. Local miners collect these fossils by digging narrow tunnels by hand into this plateau, following the layer
Day 10 Ouzina
Trilobites were a very diverse group of extinct marine arthropods. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Early Cambrian (521 million years ago) and went extinct during the Permian mass extinction (250 million years ago). They were one of the most successful of the early animals on our planet: over 25,000 species have been described, filling nearly every evolutionary niche. Due in large part to their hard exoskeletons (shells), they left an excellent fossil record
