Analysis of the structural geology of the high-grade metamorphic rocks in part of the Kakamas terrane of an area adjacent to the Neusspruit shear zone South of the orange river, Northern Cape, South Africa

>Magister Scientiae - MSc === The Proterozoic Namaqua-Natal Province comprises highly deformed rocks of medium to high grade metamorphism and is bordering the Archean Kaapvaal Craton to the west, south and east in South Africa. The sector to the west of the Craton, namely the Namaqua Sector, is s...
