Our first stop this morning is an amazing pre-cambrain stromatolite site near to Ouarzazate. 
Next we head to the Draa Valley. This beautiful valley contains an oasis at is base which is full of date palms and is flanked by valley walls made up of Ordovician sedimentary rocks that are full of trilobites. Near to Zagora we stop at BenZoli where it is possible to see pieces of very large Ordovician trilobites.

After a good look at the site we will have a picnic lunch under the shade of a tree before a beautiful drive to a place called Serradrar. This is a site of exceptional preservation of Orthoceras. Orthoceras was a marine gastropod. Today the slabs of rock containing Orthoceras are quarried and are produced into table tops and basins that are seen in virtually ever hotel in Morocco. We will visit one of these quarries and see the amazing site of the Orthoceras in situ in the rocks for ourselves.
