Abstract
    This paper reports on the discovery of a large province of buried cold-water coral mounds within a sediment drift setting along the Moroccan Atlantic Margin. They possibly represent an even largest set of buried cold-water coral mounds with respect to the Magellan Mound province in the Porcupine Seabight. However, the generally smaller Moroccan mounds have a more random spacing and are rooting on at least 4 different stratigraphic levels. Through correlation with adjacent sediment and contourite drifts, controls and interactions are proposed, as well as an attempt to correlate both provinces through the occurrence of other contourite drifts along the Eastern Atlantic Margin.
