Adrar Super Gr

Taoudeni Basin is a vast intracratonic sedimentary basin spanning parts of Mauritania, Mali, Algeria, Burkina Faso and Guinea This generalized Adrar Super Group is applied to the upper Cryogenian through Ordovician strata (including hiatuses) everywhere in the entire Taoudeni Basin (e.g., Adrar, Hodh and Hank sub-basins). Within Adrar region, the Adrar Supergroup encompasses the Jbéliat Gr (Jbeliat Gr), Téniagour Gr (Teniagour Gr), Nouatil Gr and Oujeft Gr, while it encompasses the Jbeliat Khang Naam Gr and Nioro Gr. In the Hodh-Afolle Subbasin it encompasses the Jbeliat Gr, Azlaf Gr, Kren-En-Naga Gr and Erg Cheg Gr (Martin-Monge et al., 2016).
