The origin of the dark coloration in some Paleozoic shales in Tafilalet Basin was the subject of along geological debate. Is it due to the richness of organic matter? The abundance of dark minerals? Or both of them? This paper consists to characterize some dark shales dating from Paleozoic of the Eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco. The Thermogravimetric and differential thermalanalysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope are experimental tools that have been used in this study. The results of these analyze show that dark shales of Tafilalet basin are rick on organic matter. This study may be useful in oil field exploration.

Abstract: (french)
L'origine de la coloration sombre de certains schistes paléozoïquesde Bassin de Tafilalet, était le sujet d'un long débat géologique.Celaest-ildû à la richesseen matière organique? A l'abondance des minéraux sombres? Ou les deux à la fois?
L'objectif de ce travail est de caractériser quelques schistes noirs de Paléozoïque provenant de l'Anti-Atlas Oriental du Maroc. L'analyse Thermogravimétrique et Thermique différentielle, la Diffraction des Rayons X, et le Microscope Electronique à Balayage sont des outils expérimentaux qui ont été employé pour réaliser cette étude. Les résultats de ces analyses ont montré que les schistes sombres de Tafilalet sont riches en matière organique. Cette étude pourra être utile dans le domaine de l'exploration pétrolière.
Author Keywords: Schiste noir, Matière organique, Bassin de Tafilalet, porosité, Minéralogie.
