Abstract

The Rei Bouba Group is a sedimentary and volcanic sequence (750–?650 Ma), regarded as a remnant of a Pan-African (back-arc?) orogenic basin that separated a remobilized Paleoproterozoic crust from an accretionary area (Poli Complex: 800-650 Ma). The latter was subjected to early deformation (D1) and intruded by calc-alkalic plutons (670 Ma). Transpressive tectonics and major thrusting, with emplacement of synkinematic granite, occurred at ca 630 Ma (D2-3) and a late compression (D4), with emplacement of calc-alkalic granite, occurred at ca 570 Ma. The Tcholliré Shear Zone is regarded as part of the major boundary between a recently accreted crust and the remobilized margin of the Congo Craton.
