Mesozoic to Tertiary basins — inland basinsntial thickness of Quaternary sediments in the Chad Basin..Cretaceous marine sedimentation was of shallow-water type, depositing limestones, sandstones and shales, with lithologies and fossils that indicate generally warm climatic conditions throughout. Maximum sediment thicknesses in the lullmedden and Chad Basins are of the order of 2000–3000 m.

The Permo-Triassic dolerites and carbonatiteshe newly discovered nepheline syenite-carbonatite complexes on the eastern margin of the West African craton, which are dated as Lower Permian (c. 265 Ma) and were emplaced in a well defined continental rift setting.

Crustal development in West Africad orogenic events of deformation and regional metamorphism. The age of a particular geological province represents the time of the last of these events..Regional patterns of the West African Precambrian show some striking similarities, irrespective of age. In many areas a three-fold subdivision can

The supracrustals were probably deposited at least partly upon an older Liberian basement, but evidence for this is not conclusive..Both metavolcanic greenstone-type lithologies and metasediments occur among the Birimian sequences, the former p

Infracambrian to Lower Palaeozoic basinsnset of sedimentation at around 1000 Ma ago, and products of a late Precambrian glaciation are recognised in both basins, marked by a distinctive association of tillite, limestone with barite, and chert..In the Volta Basin, the sediments can be correlated with rocks of the Togo belt, and the main ph
