Abstract:The Garga-Sarali granitoids outcrop from a metamorphic basement in the central-eastern part of the Central Cameroonian Domain of the Central African fold belt in Cameroon, and are petrographically very complex. They can be divided into two types : (1) Granodiorites of metaluminous type-I, with a fine-grained porphyritic variant texture, consisting of quartrz + orthoclase + microcline + plagioclase + biotite + zircon + oxides ± apatite; (2) and two-mica granites of hyper-aluminous type-S, with a grainy texture,… Show more
