Schofield, David; Gillespie, Martin. 2007 A tectonic interpretation of "Eburnean terrane" outliers in the Reguibat Shield, Mauritania. Journal of African Earth Sciences, 49 (4-5). 179-186. 10.1016/j.jafrearsci.2007.08.006
Abstract
The Reguibat Shield comprises a western “Archaean terrane” and eastern “Eburnean terrane” juxtaposed during the early Palaeoproterozoic Eburnean Orogeny. Metasedimentary rocks of probable Palaeoproterozoic age are preserved as flat-lying klippen (Kediat Ijil and Guelb Zednes) and steep imbricate zones (El Mahaoudat range and Sfariat Belt). These are interpreted to record a phase of thrust tectonics that emplaced a continental margin succession onto a composite Archaean foreland prior to ca. 2.06 Ga sinistral transcurrent deformation. Together, these events reflect partitioned Eburnean transpression.
