West African Orogens and Circum-Atlantic Correlatives
1 online resource (ix, 405 pages 196 illustrations)
This is the first synthesis on the West African Craton (sensu largo) presenting the Precambrian to Late Paleozoic evolution in light of its origin as a part of Gondwanaland. Furthermore, correlations with such Circum-Atlantic orogens as Iberian, Appalachian, Brazilian are eluci- dated. The belts surrounding the late Archean - early Proterozoic West African Craton are described according to their stratigraphy, sedimentology, deformation, metamorphism, magmatism, and recent geochronological data.
