- Mwembeshi_Shear_Zone abstract "The Mwembeshi Shear Zone is a ductile shear zone about 550 million years old that extends across Zambia.It separates the Lufilian Belt in the north from the Zambezi Belt in the south.It is associated with a sinistral strike slip movement.The Mwembeshi Shear Zone lies between the Congo craton and the Kalahari craton, to the west (in today's orientation) of the Mozambique Belt.It was formed during the Pan-African orogeny when "North" and "South" Gondwana were amalgamated along the Kuunga orogeny zone between 580Ma and 480Ma. The date of around 550 Ma for the Mwembeshi shear zone is based on U-Pb zircon ages of syntectonic granites from the Hook massif and of associated hypabyssal rhyolite.During the amalgamation there was sinistral transpression along the boundary between the Congo and Tanzanian cratons and the Kalahari craton, which shows as the Mwembeshi Shear Zone. The sinistral sense shows that, in modern coordinates, the Congo-Sao Francisco Craton approached the remainder of southwestern Gondwana from the east.There was little vertical displacement, but Mwembeshi is a major sinistral transcurrent shear zone.The shear zone accommodates a change in the structural vergence between the Zambezi Belt and the Lufilian Arc. Further to the West, the shear zone extends along part at least of the Damaran belt.There are known to be basic connections between geological terranes and mineralization models, so understanding the Mwembeshi Shear Zone is important to understanding where mineral resources may be found in the region. Despite this, as of 1990 there had been relatively little exploration.".
