摘要
Recent structural and stratigraphic study results indicate that the Namaqua orogenesis (ca. 1.2 Ga) involved relative movement of lozenge shaped suspect terranes. Detailed study of one of the terranes, the Aggeneys Terrane, provided important information concerning the deformation process. The principal process was differential shear which produced complex structures such as interference folds and thrust faults. All the observed deformational structures can be explained by a single long-lived compressional event.
