Alnif is a town[citation needed] in Tinghir Province, Drâa-Tafilalet, Morocco,[1] known for its significant paleontological discoveries.

The Alnif Basin is situated within the western portion of the Sahara platform, a large region that extends across North Africa.

The rocks within the basin have been subjected to significant tectonic activity, resulting in a complex geological history.

The town and its surrounding areas have yielded a large number of fossils, particularly those from the Late Devonian and Early Carboniferous periods.

This formation has yielded a large number of well-preserved fossils, including those of early tetrapods, fish, and other creatures.
