The Pan-African belt in central Africa has benefited from the many petrographic, structural,
and geochronological studies in the recent years that have improved our understanding of …

The Eastern Nigeria terrane belongs to the 3000 km-long Trans-Saharan belt which was
formed in the Neoproterozoic, between 750 and 500 Ma by continental collision between the …

Three Pan-African hypersthene-bearing monzogranitic and quartz–monzonitic plutons from
the Eastern terrane of Nigeria have been investigated in detail. New major, trace and REE …

Radiometric ages in the Nigerian basement cluster around 3.5, 3.1− 3.0, 2.7− 2.5, 2.1− 1.8
and 0.6 Ga. However, not all these ages correspond to times of crust formation. There are …

Eastern Nigeria experienced high-grade metamorphism during the Pan-African collision
event marked by a pervasive migmatization. Structural evidence demonstrates that anatexis …

In a pre-Mesozoic drift reconstitution, the Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil
connects with the Central African Fold belt to the East and with the Nigerian and Tuareg …

Structural, geochronological, geochemical and mineralization patterns in the Nigeria–
Borborema province of western Africa and NE Brazil reflect a complex Proterozoic evolution …

Garnet-bearing micaschists and paragneisses of the Yaounde Group in the Pan-African
Central African Orogenic Belt in Cameroon underwent a polyphase structural evolution with …

This paper presents new petrostructural data and a detailed geological map of the Ife-Ilesha
area, a classical schist belt in southwest Nigeria. The overall syn-metamorphic flat-lying …

The Minna area of western Nigeria lies within a Pan-African orogenic belt that extends along
the margin of the West African Craton, from Algeria southwards through Nigeria, Benin and …
