The results of a study that used 3D imaging technology to document the locations of dinosaur tracks in Mers, Boulman province, were announced in the British scientific journal “Sciencedirect.” The study was led by a Moroccan-British team under the supervision of Professor Mustapha Amzil.
The study was led by a Moroccan-British team under the supervision of Professor Mustapha Amzil, which uncovered new sites and was the first to document the coordinates of these sites, giving visitors the opportunity to directly view the dinosaur tracks in the Mers region.
Hafiz Tilouloute, a community activist from the region, explained to a media outlet that the study covered seven archaeological sites in the Mers region, including the site of “Al-Sabhouchen” and the area of Wadi Al-Ma’asar and Wadi Bassam, where the team used advanced data analysis and modern techniques, which led to new discoveries about the movements of dinosaurs and crocodiles in the Middle Jurassic period.
Telolot noted that this study represents an important step towards protecting these archaeological sites and investing them in local development, as the digital content will be made available to institutions and civic events to raise awareness of the importance of this cultural heritage.
The study also referred to local efforts to create a “Mediterranean Atlas Geopark”, with an eye towards the possibility of realizing this dream by relying on the Mers region as a global hub for geotourism.
The research team includes Dr. Moustapha Amzil and Professor Moustapha Ogso from the University of Casablanca, along with a specialized British team.
