Abstract
THE development of the African continent is often considered as a progressive growth of the stable areas, or cratons. This growth was achieved through consolidation of mobile belts and geosynclines around eight primary cores or nuclei, older than 2,500 m.y. (ref. 1). The area of the ancient nuclei is small compared with that of the present African craton.
