Abstract
Platform conodont of E1 Atrous section in southeastern Morocco have been studied. This research indicates Frasnian- Famennian boundary in a thickness of 40 centimeter.
      The conodont research associated with cephalopod study of the section have been done in order to introduce a global Frasnian- Famennian boundary stratotype.
Angyrognathus ubiquitus and Plamatolepis preatriangularis species introduced only a few months after their first discovery.
