“…The ~2.8 Ma ages of the Rooibokvlei and Mosita granitic rocks also approximate the age of 2785±2 Ma reported by Moore et al (1993) for the Gaborone granite suite and Kanye Formation in Botswana and adjacent areas of northwestern South Africa, again suggesting they may be coeval or that they may possibly be linked genetically (Poujol et al, 2002). The distribution of the igneous and volcanic components associated with the Gaborone-Kanye igneous terrane have come under scrutiny in recent years following the availability of Pb-Pb single zircon and precise U-Pb zircon age dating.…”

“…This succession was intruded by gabbroic rocks from the Usushawana intrusive suite at 2871 ±30 Ma (Hegner et al, 1994). The Gaborone Granitic Complex, Plantation Porphyry, Kanye volcanics and Derdepoort basalts were also emplaced at c. 2782 Ma (Grobler and Walraven, 1983;Moore et al, 1993;Walraven et al, 1996;Wingate 1997). …”

ABSTRACT:The Kaapvaal Craton hosts a number of Precambrian sedimentary successions which were deposited between 3105 Ma (Dominion Group) and 1700 Ma (Waterberg Group) Although younger Precambrian sedimentary sequences outcrop within southern Africa, they are restricted either to the margins of the Kaapvaal craton, or are underlain by orogenic belts off the edge of the craton. The basins considered in this work are those which host the Witwatersrand and Pongola, Ventersdorp, Transvaal and Waterberg strata. Many of these basins can be considered to have formed as a response to reactivation along lineaments, which had initially formed by accretion processes during the amalgamation of the craton during the Mid-Archaean.Faulting along these lineaments controlled sedimentation either directly by controlling the basin margins, or indirectly by controlling the sediment source areas.Other basins are likely to be more controlled by thermal affects associated with mantle plumes. Accommodation in all these basins may have been generated primarily by flexural tectonics, in the case of the Witwatersrand, or by a combination of extensional and thermal subsidence in the case of the Ventersdorp, Transvaal and Waterberg. Wheeler diagrams are constructed to demonstrate stratigraphic relationships within these basins at the first-and second-order levels of cyclicity, andcan be used to demonstrate the development of accommodation space on the craton through the Precambrian.
