Datasets supporting the paper: The Numidian sand event in the Burdigalian foreland basin system of the Rif (Morocco) in a source-to-sink perspective

The additional Figure S1 and Table S6 show the subsidence curves and sedimentation rates of Ketama-Tanger, Tisiren-Beni Ider, and Predorsalian units. The compaction history to detect the original and final porosity was performed by using the diagrams from Bond et al. (1983). Figures S2 to S6 and tables S1 to S2 show the biostratigraphy and the quantitative analyses carried out on calcareous nannofossils from three stratigraphic sections: 9th April 1947 Dam section (“Numidian Facies”), Imâm Rhìt section (“Mérinides Facies”), and Al Fahamine and Boulaichiches sections (“Beliounis Facies”). The micropaleontologic analyses were performed at the Laboratory of Stratigraphy of Roma Tre University, from September 2019 to October 2020. Details on the methods followed to perform the analyses are reported in section “3.2. Biostratigraphic analysis” of the main text of the paper. Figure S7 is a stratigraphic panel showing the main pre-orogenic stratigraphic successions of the substratum of the Burdigalian foreland basin system of the Rif Chain. Table S3 shows the point-count raw and the recalculated modal point-count data for three stratigraphic sections: 9th April 1947 Dam section (“Numidian Facies”), Imâm Rhìt section (“Mérinides Facies”), and Boulaichiches sections (“Beliounis Facies”). The quantitative petrographic analyses were performed at the ESRG laboratory of Department des Sciences de la Terre, University Abdelmalek Essaadi, Tanger, Morocco. Details on the methods followed to perform the analyses are reported in section “3.3. Petrographic analyses” of the main text of the paper. Table S4 shows the results of U-Th-Pb LA-ICP-MS analyses and calculated ages for zircon separates from the sandstones samples of 9thApril 1947 Dam section (“Numidian Facies”), Imâm Rhìt section (“Mérinides Facies”), and Boulaichiches sections (“Beliounis Facies”). Data in yellow marker (Excel file) were discarded based on the 206Pb/238U uncertainty above 5%. The analysis label in the first column is composed by adding in sequence the number of the sample, of the mount, of the grain and finally of the U-Pb analysis on the same grain so that multiple U-Pb analysis on the same grain are indicated the last sequence number of the label. The Detrital Zircon U-Pb geochronologic analyses were performed at Institute of Isotope Geochemistry and Petrology (IGP), ETH Zurich. Details on the methods followed to perform the analyses are reported in section “3.4. Detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology analyses” of the main text of the paper. Table S5 shows the trace and REE elements of the same zircon of sandstone samples collected for detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology analyses as obtained through in situ LA-ICPMS analyses. The trace and REE elements were performed at Institute of Isotope Geochemistry and Petrology (IGP), ETH Zurich. Details on the methods followed to perform the analyses are reported in section “3.4. Detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology analyses” of the main text of the paper.
