Abstract
The Southern and Northern Marginal Zones of the Limpopo Belt share many similarities. An important difference between the two marginal zones is that the Southern Marginal Zone includes a higher proportion of supracrustal rocks, and notably more pelitic granulite, whilst the Northern Marginal Zone is characterized by abundant igneous charnockitic rocks. The structural and metamorphic characteristics of the Northern and Southern Marginal Zones of the Limpopo Belt are best explained by a common tectonic history linked to a collision of the Kaapvaal and Zimbabwe Cratons during the Late Archaean. -from Authors
