The Neoproterozoic Mwashya–Kansuki sedimentary rock succession in the central African Copperbelt, its Cu–Co mineralisation, and regional correlations
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/gr, 2007)
Rocks of the Neoproterozoic Mwashya Subgroup (former Upper Mwashya) form the uppermost sedimentary unit of the Roan Group. Based on
new field and drill hole observations, the Mwashya is subdivided into three formations: ...
Cryptic indicators of provenance from the geochemistry of the Okavango Delta sediments, Botswana
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/sedgeo, 2005)
The siliciclastic sediments of the Okavango inland Delta of northwest Botswana have a modal composition of quartz arenites
and result from a complex history, including transport by river and deposition in a nascent rift ...
Use of the geochemical and biological sedimentary record in establishing palaeo-environments and climate changein the Lake Ngami basin, NW Botswana
(Elsevier, www.sciencedirect.com, 2006)
Sediment samples from a continuous 4.6m profile in the dry bed of Lake Ngami in NW Botswana were analysed for geochemistry and
dated using both 14C and TL methods. Certain units in the profile were found to be diatom rich ...
A ca. 200Ma hiatus between the Lower and Upper Transvaal Groups of southern Africa: SHRIMP U–Pb detrital zircon evidence from the Segwagwa Group, Botswana: Implications for Palaeoproterozoic glaciations
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/epsl, 2006)
The Segwagwa Group of southeastern Botswana, a correlate of the Pretoria Group of the Transvaal Supergroup of South Africa, consists of a major sequence of siliciclastic sedimentary rocks, minor carbonates and basaltic to ...
The Okavango giant mafic dyke swarm (NE Botswana): its structural significance within the Karoo Large Igneous Province
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/jsg, 2005)
The structural organization of a giant mafic dyke swarm, the Okavango complex, in the northern Karoo Large Igneous Province (LIP) of
NE Botswana is detailed. This N1108E-oriented dyke swarm extends for 1500 km with a ...
Major and trace element geochemistry of plutonic rocks from Francistown, NE Botswana: evidence for a Neoarchaean continental active margin in the Zimbabwe craton
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/lithos, 2003)
The Neoarchaean Tati granite–greenstone terrane occurs within the southwestern part of the Zimbabwe craton in NE
Botswana. It comprises 10 intrusive bodies forming part of three distinct plutonic suites: (1) an earlier ...
Sediment-hosted Zn–Pb–Cu deposits in the Central African Copperbelt
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/oregeorev, 2009)
Stratabound epigenetic sulphide Zn–Pb–Cu ore deposits of the Central African Copperbelt in the Democratic
Republic of Congo and Zambia are mostly hosted in deformed shallow marine platform carbonates and
associated ...
Basement control on dyke distribution in Large Igneous Provinces: Case study of the Karoo triple junction
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/epsl, 2006)
Continental flood basalts consist of vast quantities of lava, sills and giant dyke swarms that are associated with
continental break-up. The commonly radiating geometry of dyke swarms in these provinces is generally ...
Mesoproterozoic rocks of Namibia and their plate tectonic setting
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/jafrearsci, 2006)
Two main Mesoproterozoic provinces occur in southern Namibia: (1) The high-grade Namaqua Metamorphic Complex (NMC) composed
of a supracrustal sedimentary succession and interpreted as a passive margin sequence in the west ...
Sedimentological and geochemical evidence for palaeo-environmental change in the Makgadikgadi subbasin, in relation to the MOZ rift depression, Botswana
(Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/palaeo, 2005)
This work considers new evidence for palaeo environmental change taking place during the Pleistocene in northern Botswana. Duricrusted strandlines along the northeastern margin of Sua Pan provide palaeo-environmental data ...
