Namaqualand Metamorphic Complex: a contribution to the National Geodynamics Programme.
Sponsored by the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research - edited by B.J.V. Botha.
The Namaqua Metamorphic Complex (NMC) in South Africa and southern Namibia is a Mesoproterozoic belt, which is characterized by three stages of voluminous emplacement of granitoid plutons including granites, granodiorites or tonalites. The magmatic history spans over > 200 million years with a main phase of emplacements between 1210 and 1180 Ma and less common younger plutons forming around 1100 and 1000 Ma.
The purpose of this volume is to document the results of a multidisciplinary investigation of parts (i.e. Namaqualand and Upington geotraverses) of the Namaqua mobile belt. The general aim of the Geodynamics Programme in the Namaqualand Metamorphic Complex was to decipher the history and interactions of tectonic, metamorphic and magmatic processes in this mobile belt. The two geological maps (in colour), which accompany this volume, are a compilation of the work of many full and part-time workers.
This volume is the Special Publication No. 10 of The Geological Society of South Africa. A Hard cover in original dark green rexine and with gilt titling to front board and on spine, with a pictorial dust cover.
