摘要: The Precambrian foundation of southern Africa consists of Archaean cratonic nuclei surrounded by belts formed during three separate Proterozoic orogenic episodes. Crust that formed or was reworked at 2.05–1.8 Ga is represented by orogenic belts (eg Kheis-Magondi, Ubendian-Usagaran) that partly wrap the ancient craton margins or form extensive basement in younger belts. Orogenic belts formed at 1.35–1.0 Ga record arc magmatism and collisional events during assembly of the Rodinia supercontinent. The Namaqua-Natal …
