This faulting tectonics analysis concerns the southernmost segment of the Dahomeyide Orogen and the West-African craton eastern margin in southeast Ghana. The analysis of strike-slip faults in the frontal units of the Dahomeyide Belt indicates that four distinct compressive events (NE-SW, ENE-WSW to E-W, ESE-WNW to SE-NW and SE-NW to SSE-NNW) originated the juxtaposition of the Pan-African Mobile Zone and the West-African craton. These paleostress systems define a clockwise rotation of the compressional axis during the structuring of the Dahomeyide Orogen (650–550 Ma). The SE-NW and SSE-NNW to N-S compressional axes in the cratonic domain and its cover (Volta Basin) suggest that the reactivation of the eastern edge of the West African craton is coeval with the last stages of the Pan-African tectogenesis in southeast Ghana.

  • Provisional Programme
    June 2016 DOWNLOADS PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME The provisional technical program was set during the first week in June, although the schedule of times and venues for 4th Announcement Circular presentations and posters will only be finalized mid- July. Currently, there are 4,824 accepted abstracts from over 5,200 submissions, of which 3087 are oral presentations and 1,737 are posters. These are divided between the three core topics, Geoscience in Society (31%), Geology in the Economy (24%) and Fundamental Geoscience (45%). There are between three and fifteen major symposia or general sessions per theme of which there are 48. There are nine plenary presentations, all of which are directed at themes of particular current relevance in the global earth sciences. See the website. Topics include: Formation of continental crust Science and the professions: service to society Climate and human evolution The mining industry and society Shale gas - the technical challenges Extraction technologies and the life cycle of metals Earthquakes in Africa Palaeobiology from fossil bones Under the core theme, Geoscience in Society, there are a considerable number of geoheritage and geoconservation presentations. Climate change is a high interest topic (as predicted!). Communication to the public sector is addressed, as is mapping of Africa and the world. Geohazards, engineering geology and environmental geoscience all SOCIAL MEDIA have strong support. Geoeducation at secondary and tertiary level is well represented. There is considerable interest in professionalism in the geosciences and geoethics. All of these topics are typically under-represented in conferences world-wide, and anyone interested in these subjects should definitely have a close look at this part of the program.

Matieland 7602, South Africa ABSTRACT The Lu-Hf isotopic composition of detrital zircons has been used to investigate the crustal evolution of the northern part of the West African (raton (WAC). The zircons were separated from six samples of siliciclastic sedimentary rocks from the main Neoproterozic stratigraphic units of the Anti-Atlas belt, from the SiIWa and Zenaga inliers. The data suggest that the north part of the WAC formed during three cycles of juvenile crust formation with variable amount of reworking of older crust. The younger group of zircons, with a main population clustering around 610 Ma, has a predominant juvenile character and Keyworili: evidences of moderate mixing with Paleoproterozoic and Neoarchean crust, which supports that most Anti-Atlas belt igneous and metamorphic rocks where zircons originally crystallized were formed in an ensialic mag­ Morocco Hfisotopes matic arc environment. The group of zircons in the age range 1.79-2.3 Ca corresponds to the major crust Detrital zircon forming event in the WAC: the Eburnian orogeny.

  • Mineralization and Sustainable Development in the West African Craton: from field Observations to Modelling
    Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 25, 2021 Mineralization and sustainable development in the West African Craton: from field observations to modelling Tahar Aïfa Université de Rennes, CNRS, Géosciences Rennes–UMR 6118, Bât. 15, Campus de Beaulieu, 35042 Rennes, France 0000-0002-1573-7668 [email protected] Abstract: This Special Publication combines results obtained by interdisciplinary groups from numerous aca- demic institutions working on Paleoproterozoic formations to decipher the origins of the main mineralization resources in the West African Craton (WAC) and their impacts on African economic development. Structural, geophysical, sedimentological, stratigraphical, geochemical, petrophysical and mineralogical analyses have been used to highlight the complexities involved in mineralization emplacement and its origin and evolution within the WAC. Fourteen articles, mainly of basic research carried out in the WAC and surrounding areas, contribute to new knowledge in mineral research with updated references. They show that the geodynamic evo- lution of the WAC is complex from one area to another: it involves subduction, collision and obduction during several deformation phases ranging from Birimian (2.3–2.0 Ga) to Pan-African (650–450 Ma) events. Miner- alization is mainly controlled by tectonics within shear zones, orogenic belts, basins and faulting systems occur- ring in the various corridors. Mineralized fluid circulation is stressed and injected into appropriate formations and precipitate several types of well-documented ore deposits: porphyry, metal-bearing, volcanogenic massive sulfide, sedimentary exhalative and lateritic. Various modelling techniques, when integrated, help in under- standing the mechanisms of mineralization emplacement, some of which are still a matter of debate.
