“…The decrease of Ni versus Zr is compatible with the fractionation of ferromagnesians (pyroxene and amphibole) in these rocks. This element could also be associated with MgO and FeOt in pyroxenes (Hamlaoui et al, 2020;Kpanzou, 2023).…”

The Dahomeyide orogen in Togo and adjoining parts of southeast-Ghana and Benin represents the West Africa Craton (WAC) suture into northwest Gondwana. The suture zone is a narrow and lithologically diverse region with high pressure granulites complexes. The Akaba massif located in the central part of Togo, belongs to this suture zone. Petrographical and whole rock geochemical analyses are used to evaluate the characteristics, petrogenesis and mode of emplacement of the Akaba massif. The new data suggest that the Akaba massif is built by layered amphibolites, garnet-free granulites and metapyroxenites. These rocks were equilibrated under granulite facies conditions and subsequently partially retrogressed to the amphibolite facies. Geochemical suggest that the granulites may have preserved the geochemical imprints of their igneous protoliths. They display tholeiitic affinity, slightly enriched LREE, no Eu anomaly and negative anomalies in Nb and Zr indicate subduction zone magmatism. These features are consistent with protoliths of N-MORB affinities. The Akaba massif rocks were emplaced up in an oceanic arc environment and likely originated from a metasomatized mantle.

The Dahomeyide orogen, in Togo and adjoining parts of southeast Ghana and Benin, represents the suture of West Africa Craton (WAC) into northwest Gondwana. The suture zone corresponds to a narrow and lithologically diverse area with high pressure granulite complexes. The Djabatoure massif, located in the central part of Togo, belongs to the suture zone. The aim of this paper is to present the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the Djabatoure massif in order to better understand the geodynamic evolution of the Dahomeyide belt in Togo. The methodology implemented is based on a synthesis of previous works, a petrographic study of 20 thin sections, and a geochemical study through discrimination diagrams of 15 rock samples. Results show that the Djabatoure massif is composed of granulites, pyroxenites, amphibolites, talcschists and gneisses. These rocks were equilibrated under granulite facies conditions and subsequently partially retrogressed to the amphibolite facies. The Djabatoure massif rocks also display tholeiitic affinity, enriched LREE, and negative anomalies in Nb, Zr and Ti; all these characteristics indicate subduction zone magmtism. These features are consistent with protoliths of tholeiites, N-MORB, and volcanic arc basalts affinities. The Djabatoure massif rocks were emplaced in an oceanic environment and likely originated from a metasomatized mantle.
