| Summary: | A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Science
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. === The Precambrian geology of southern Malawi forms a
segment of the Mozambique Belt and includes important suites
of amphibolite and granulite facies rocks. These grade
into each other and comprise lithologies of supracrustal
affinity, together with clearly intrusive varieties. In
granulites and transitional rocks, hypersthene-augite-plagioclase-
(edenitic pargasite) parageneses, or almandine-augite-plagioclase-
(-quartz)(-tschermakitic pargasite) parageneses with affinities
with eclogite, progressively replace amphibolite facies
assemblages. (Abbreviation abstract) === Andrew Chakane
