摘要: Abstract The Nyong Group of the NW corner Congo craton is a metasedimentary and metaplutonic rock unit that underwent high-grade tectono-metamorphic event at ∼2050 Ma associated with charnockite formation. However, age sedimentation plutonism was not known. In view this, considered to be part Archean reactivated during Paleoproterozoic or Pan-African orogeny. Such interpretation widely supported by persistence inheritance revealed Nd isotope data on whole rocks U–Pb zircons. New SHRIMP analyses detrital zircons from metasediments (BIF, orthopyroxene gneiss garnet gneiss) yield Mesoarchean ages, youngest zircon 2423 ± 4 Ma, thus giving maximum deposition for Group.
