摘要
The Paleoproterozoic Baoule-Mossi Domain within the South West African Craton is one of the most heavily mineral endowed regions in the world. However the geodynamic framework of this unique endowment is poorly constrained. The evolution of the craton can be mapped out through detailed analysis of volcanic and sedimentary successions, which are intimately linked to geodynamic processes. Six major lithostratigraphic cycles have been identified and correlated across the Baoule-Mossi Domain: the Lower Birimian Cycle One (ca. 2300-2180 Ma), the Lower Birimian Cycle Two (ca. 2180-2150 Ma), the Upper Birimian Cycle One (ca. 21502140 Ma), the Upper Birimian Cycle Two (ca.2140-2115 Ma), the Tarkwaian Cycle (ca. 2115-2095 Ma) and the Bandamian Volcanics (ca. 2100-2070 Ma). These cycles can be linked to specific geodynamic settings provides additional understanding of the Birimian/Paleoproterozoic Baoule-Mossi Domain global geodynamic evolution.
