This paper provides a review of the tectonic evolution of central–southern Africa from
Mesoproterozoic to earliest Palaeozoic times, using available geological information and a …

Central Gondwana was assembled by three continental collisions in relatively quick
succession: late Cryogenian East Africa Orogen, early Ediacaran West Antarctica Orogen …

This substantially revised edition includes recently published information relating to plate
tectonics and continental origin. A large number of new figures have been added, and new …

Several late-collision and intraplate features are not entirely integrated in the classical plate
tectonic model. The Pan-African orogeny (730–550 Ma) in Saharan Africa provides some …

Phanerozoic rift basin evolution in Africa has been strongly influenced by the pre-existing
basement structure inherited from Precambrian tectonics. Two modes of basement …

Abstract The Upper Proterozoic Pan-African belts of Africa and Brasiliano belts of South
America are assumed to have evolved from an elaborate system of continental rifts which …

In this book metal deposits, in particular those of non-ferrous and precious metals, are
classified and analyzed in terms of their plate tectonic settings. This approach allows a …

Abstract The Zambian Copperbelt accounts for approximately 46 percent of the production
and reserves of the Cen tral African Copperbelt, the largest and highest grade sediment …

Parts of the Kasai Shield, a western foreland to the Lufilian Arc and the western arm of this
orogen are traced into NW Zambia. The Kasai Shield comprises a suite of metamorphic and …

The Precambrian foundation of southern Africa consists of Archaean cratonic nuclei
surrounded by belts formed during three separate Proterozoic orogenic episodes. Crust that …
