What is Precambrian Of The Southern Hemisphere (developments In Precambrian Geology) about?

The major portion (88%) of this huge anorthosite mass is situated in the southwestern extremity of Angola where it straddles the Kunene River and extends into South West Africa/Nambia. The mountainous remoteness of the Kunene area, poor access and outcrop paucity within the flat-lying desert to semi-desert environment to the north, have precluded detailed mapping or systematic geological-petrological studies of the entire complex although small segments have been afforded closer attention (Geologists of the Servicos de Geologica è Minas and Companhia Mineira do Cunene S.A.R.L. in Angola; Köstlin, 1967; Silva, 1972; G.F.W. Menge, pers. commun., 1975). Other work has been of a broad reconnaissance nature so that high confidence cannot be placed on geological conclusions regarding the complex as a whole. The complex underlies an area of 17,378 km² of which at least 13% is covered by thick alluvium and G.F.W. Menge (pers. commun., 1975) suggests that the stratigraphic thickness of the pile is at least 14.6 km in the south. The bulk of the country rocks are assigned to the so-called "Metamorphic Series" of southwest Angola and consist of heterogeneous varieties of massive to banded qu
