In this paper, we review the dimensions, geometry and architecture of the components of the
Kalahari Craton and the various positions this important crustal block could have occupied …

The Precambrian foundation of southern Africa consists of Archaean cratonic nuclei

Juvenile crust formation within the Namaqua-Natal Belt occurred during two principal
periods at∼ 1.4 and∼ 2.2 Ga with little evidence for significant contributions from older …

One of the world's most extensive occurrences of whiteschists (talc-kyanite schists) is
located in south central Africa with several exposures along a ca. 700 km northwest …

Gabbros and eclogites occur closely associated in a 200-km-long and up to 40-km-wide
area of the Zambezi Belt in central Zambia. This area is interpreted to represent part of a late …

A new National Geological Map of Botswana incorporates data acquired from a variety of
