Abstract

A preliminary study has been made to establish pressure, temperature and water activity parameters for the high-grade metamorphism of the early Archaean supracrustal rocks exposed in the Limpopo Mobile Belt near Messina, South Africa. The results reported here indicate that a significant orogenic crustal thickness up to ∼30 km was developed before ∼3,100 Myr ago in the region.
