The first found tracks of dinosaur in the North of the Goulmima-Tinerhir line (Inner Haut Atlas Central, Morocco) are described. They are located in the Arhbalou Formation and come from isolated and grouped prints mainly of theropod dinosaur. They have importance by the enlargement of the geographical area with dinosaur paleoichnological sites and by they constitute the first dated Carixian dinosaur footprints founds in Morocco.

On the nor th of the Goulmima-Tinerhir line three new dinosaur ichnological sites were discovered. The new ichnites and sites (21 and 3) are added to the 23 footprints and 4 outcrops known until now. All sites are in the Aghbalou Formation (Carixian) being those described in this work, older that previously known. Eubrontes, other not identified theropod and possibly sauropod ichnites are described in the new localities. The litology and the direct and indirect structures accompanying of the footsteps also suppose a contribution for the extension of variation both in the sedimentary materials and morphologic ichnological types in the region
